I feel like I’ve been in a war. I can hear the zing…zing…zing and see the sabers going at it. Watch out for Darth Vader! Congratulations!

Lol, Kim. Tho' it's been years since I rehashed its movies long ere my retiring, especially with the kids all grown with their own families thousands of miles away, I'm glad for my new family of soupers, my friend. Aloha, William

Aloha, Sara, and with my sincerest gratitudes. Robert seemingly tends towards a fantastic voyage tho' I wrote this prior to his contest--thought it might be of some interest, my friend. Mahalo, William

So good to hear from you, Lasaad. I'm not sure if you still in Philadelphia, but the kids near Boston said that it's cloudy and in the frisky 40s, while it's 70s here in Hawaii. Thank you for your kind share and visit, my friend. Aloha, William
