I’ve already talked to two people who didn’t know what Star Wars Day was all about. It’s been around for years. ---

Just a reminder that the secondary Star Wars day that you can jump on last minute in case you forgot to do something on May 4 (or if you are more of a Darth) is “Revenge Of The Sixth”. Not, as some mistakenly assume, Revenge Of The Fifth, which is not a thing. That’s already reserved as Cinco de Mayo. ---

I watched the film on Saturday. When Darth Vader mentions Obi-Wan, one of his lackeys says “Obi-Wan Kenobi? Surely he must be dead by now.” I so wanted Vader’s next line to be (everybody say it): He is not dead. And don’t call me Shirley. ---

I’m a May Fourth baby, and I still try to wear my “May The Fourth Be With You” shirt every year. Except this year, I was dressed in my Shabbat clothing on _actual_ May 4, so instead I’m wearing it now for my birthday dinner tonight. ---

Bootiful day in the PNW and supposed to get into the upper 80s by Thursday. Too hot for this old Alaskan. But for now, it’s just gorgeous. Peonies are blooming and the roses are coming. Plus, I’m back to wearing shorts; always a pleasure to shed the winter clothing. ---
