(I suppose that at this point the general feeling of hatred toward the Prequel Trilogy has become accepted wisdom. I concede defeat, on that score.)

:: Go. Look up. See what there is to see. You’ll be amazed at what’s going on just over your head.
:: The innumerable dead are not thankful for much, but they are thankful for this: they have been spared knowledge of Jeffy. (I’m so glad that my thought process was almost identical when I read this week’s Family Circus!)
:: tap tap Is this thing on? (Steven Den Beste suffered a stroke a couple of weeks ago, but he is on the mend.)
More next week!
