When something would break, I would say "damn it Chewie" and I never could remember it that was in an actual line in the movie. I guess I need to start saying "My name is Groot." The meaning is endless. May the force be with you!

Wonder how many people are 420 on 5-4 looking for 411 on 12 and 35?

Somehow I think you might be the only one making all those connections.

So 420 was suppose to be the police code for marijuana possession so it was adopted for getting high or having some. Of course we know 5-4. 411 is information. So 411 used to be slang for finding information. 12 and 35 is from Bob Dylan’s Rainy Day Women 12 and 35. So 12 x 35 is 420. People thought it was a secret code.

So May the Ikigai way be with you. 😊

I hate missing this article on Sunday. Still opening boxes from the move! I originally watched Star Wars in the movie theatre, and my brother and I had lightsabers that were fancy flashlights with inflatable blades! Recently, when the Mandalorian came up, my son and I bought ourselves the new lightsaber models with noise and effects. I use them in my classes. I'm such a nerd!! Hahaha, I hope the force was with you on Sunday and for many years to come.

And here goes my brain, picking other phrases that may one day be fossils …

To infinity and beyond!

That’s not flying, it’s falling with style!

Good to go Houston

I’ll be back!

Beam me up Scotty!

Engage!

Okay, I even have myself groaning now….

Yes and no. It just struck me that Star Trek has been around even longer than Star Wars.

I love both, ST and SW, but I love Star Trek best, because it was first, for me.

One to beam up.

Oh, good point! Me too. I remember watching the second pilot with Kirk rather than Pike as the Captain. Live Long and Prosper is the 'May the Force be with you' a decade earlier. Beam me up, Scotty is still in the vernacular, too. Now you've got me thinking, Teri.
