It is a day to dream of a reality beyond this one, to connect in our common interests, and to imagine ourselves as epically awesome (Which, I want you to know, you already are.).

And, if nothing else, it always helps to know, "the 'Force' will be with you, always." Star Wars  Topics: Did You Know...  (Tidbits we find intriguing.) Wolfe Stew Connects  (Why it matters to us.)

New feature: "Our Nephew's Suggestion" ) Did You Know: "Gobbledygook" was the adjective associated with Lucas' original Star Wars  draft?  20th Cen
