(Editor's note - I don't know what the deal is with Blogger. I tried to post this last week and it finally shows up today. In fact, three copies showed up.)
Nance, this is for you.

Girl with an R2D2 Earring
This bit of silliness is from the Worth1000.com website, and is my favorite entry in a contest calling for Star Wars art.

I'm So Proud
My California niece, an aspiring movie costumer, helped out on Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. This is very cool - at least to that subset of geeky humanity known as the scifi fan.

Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How
Hubbo has been out of the country for over a week now. We talk on Skype, and sometimes I even turn on the Skype video, to remind him what I look like. (We've been married 32 years now, but I don't want to take any reckless chances.) Anyway, this leaves me with lots of time for odd thoughts.
To myself, thought I, "Which of the classic questions - Who What Where When Why, and How - was my favorite?" And to myself, thought I, "'Why'!" "Why" is my favorite question. "How" is second. Everything else is just details.
When I watch the news, I want to know "why". When I hear of inhumanity, I want to know "why". When I see something gorgeous and heartbreaking and beautiful, I want to know "why". Why was this done, why was this created, why did they think that. Why?
If it's cool, I usually want to know "how", too.
What is your favorite question?
