Things Worth Remembering

The three habits that lead to success are: Patience, Application, and Vision.

Take care: The person who will tell others' faults to you - will tell yours to others.

Darth Vader:  ”What is thy bidding, my master?”
The Emperor: “Send the fleet to the far side of Endor. There it will stay until called for.”

The Emperor: “It is of no concern. Soon the Rebellion will be crushed and young Skywalker will be one of us. Your work here is finished, my friend. Go out to the command ship and await my orders.”
Darth Vader:  ”Yes, my master.”

Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi


After months of waiting and buying (a house and all the baby stuff to fill one), the final hours of rushing, waiting, encouraging, worrying, and encouraging some more, Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru have their first baby. Their work on this pregnancy is finished, but the real fun now that they have a child has just begun.

He’s a.dor.a.ble and looks just like his daddy with a thick shock of dark brown hair and that slightly not-quite-sure-about-you look on his face.  

If he doesn’t just make you want to rub your nose into the screen to get a whiff of that new baby smell and cover his super-soft baby neck in kisses, I don’t know what will.

Now I just need an appropriate Star Wars tag for him. Any suggestions?
