So 15 years ago today, this happened:
Highlights from Gilmore Girls playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=D7994E52E083AD4B From the very first episode, the pilot of Gilmore Girls. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238784/ Lorelai is on a quest for her badly needed morning coffee. She even brings her own cup to the local diner run by Luke Danes who gives in to her charms. Only for entertainment purposes not profit.
How I love my Gilmore Girls. What's not to love, really? Stars Hollow. I'd move there tomorrow if I could, and if it really existed. Mere formality. Quirky characters, witty banter, captivating story lines: all the makings of a great book wrapped up in a television show. Good writing, whatever the platform, should be celebrated.
My son Ben, who was twelve at the time, and I were on our way to an event a few years ago when I realized I'd left our tickets at home. I jokingly blamed him for not doing his job and reminding me to grab them. He replied, without skipping a beat, "So you're saying I'm your Rory?." I knew then and there I was raising a fine young man.
