Thank you! A lot of people thought it wouldn't last...it really didn't seem like it would. It was pretty rocky when we were dating (4 years.) But they underestimated the determination of both of us.
Yikers Ruthee... that blows.
I was about ready to quit yesterday. Stomped outta the office really, really ready to make the call. This Sarbanes crap has got me just climbing the @#$@ing walls. It is completely taking the fun out of it.
Glad to see you too, osage!
I've been so stressed out and angry lately and a half hour with my friends here has made me feel better than I have in days.
mmm......dagger.....
Does it have a sheath? Gotta be inconspicuous, doncha know. ;-D
I could go for some sardines, come to think of it. Or an anchovie pizza.
Those idiots are ~still~ there?!?
Don't they have familes to go home to? Villages to torch? Gift cheques to tax?
Sheesh.
Yer startin' to sound downright impulsive!
For some reason, the good guys' hangouts (Bag End, Rivendell, Edoras, and Minas Tirith) seemed to be only a third the size that my feelings say they should be. Otherwise they were perfect. In fact, the setting of Edoras in the movie exceeded anything I imagined.
The bad guys cribs in the movies, though, far exceeded any concepts I had of their size and evil.
The Shire melted my heart, but it still seemed a bit small, even for Hobbits.
Well if they'd have been American Hobbits it would have been bigger. :)
Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start...
Sorry 2J. You'll have to eat these on the side. :-D 
If we gotta smoke outside.... then 2J has got to eat those sardines outside too. :~\
But we can fart inside, right?
HA ha ha!!!
I'm actually snacking on some fresh baked bread...it was just finishing up baking when I walked in the door. I'm starving. Now I have a hankering for some of OT's wings...there are none better. I eat Walmart's now and then, but they're nothing compared to hers.
We were s'posed to ask?
Hi Corin! You're coming to Shootmoot, aren't ya? Of all the people I hated not getting to meet, you were the one I most hated not getting to meet.
Evenin' (officially) folks.
Long day. Had our office shindig this afternoon. Since boss's executive assistant is on extended leave fighting breast cancer, I took charge, cause I knew no one else would. Turned out okay.
This evening, wife and I went to a reception for our next Governor, Jerry Kilgore. Plan to be more actively involved. Also talked to candidates for Lt. Governor and Attorney General (a long time acquaintance).
Felt good to be "back" on the political circuit again.
Agreed.
And ecurbh....definitely not. Especially if we're eating!
Keene is right near Manchester, I think - it's close to three hours, the way I drive. Two and a half, at least.
I sometimes wish concerts didn't hafta be at night. I'd be happy to drive that distance during the day, but at eleven or after, when I'm fighting to stay awake? Eehhh...
The identical edition of The Hobbit-- a boxed volume in green faux leather-- is currently for sale at my local B&N.
