Despite the lack of flying cars and hover boards, I was able to celebrate Back to the Future Day in my own way. I started Back to the Future 2 and timed it just right so Doc and Marty end up in "the future" (which I still think was awesome) at precisely 4:29 p.m October 21st 2015. Had a bit of 1/2 pepperoni and half green pepper pizza and a Pepsi (it wasn't perfect though). And I enjoyed a variety of goofy online tributes and engaged in various discussions about what Back to the Future got right and what it got wrong.
Sorry the Cubbies didn't make it to the World Series. (Darn You Biff Tannen!) and truthfully, I do wish we had self lacing shoes and self-drying jackets ...Still, it was good enough I guess for an entirely unexpected version of 2015.
Gotta end the day with the Doc's speech at the end of Back to the Future 3 because I still find it kinda inspirational.
Whelp, time to step forward into a future unknown to any of us--save maybe Doc Brown.
Because you see...he's already been there...
