Subject:Odd ignition issue

For the second (or possibly third) time in the past week I went to
start up the van and when I turned the key all the normal idiot lights
came on, but the engine did not crank. However, I immediately turned
the key to off and tried again and the van started right up without
any hesitation. This hasn't happened consistently, which is why I'm
not sure if it's happened more than twice in the past week. When I
started the van later, the issue didn't present itself.  I've never
seen it happen before this week, which is why I am concerned. Does
this symptom sound familiar to anyone? Is it a sign of a failing
starter? Computer? Something else?  Thanks for your input.
