Shameless.

So you're advocating the other choice? No. I'm just saying eating 250 bars in one day would make me sick as a dog.
Don't need no steenkin' drug-induced high! Don't need any steenkin' drug-induced high, either!

Don't need any steenkin' drug-induced high, either! Pints are my substance of choice...
To: Corin Stormhands
I just like pints/Winyards....don't need the high.

I went to bed early last night and Steve was reading TTT. He told me he wasn't really getting into it...could really grasp what was happening. I ended up reading snips of the White Rider to him and read all of Helm's Deep to him, starting with when Gandalf told Theoden to get rid of his cane.
I think he got a better understanding of it from my reading. He is dyslexic (though much better since he learned how to read using basic phonics...he learned teaching Matthew!) Still, reading is hard for him.
Storm comin'! Gotta get offline.

But, of course you did notice that the article says it's good in moderation errr...I chose to ignore that point...

Hullo! Good morning, morning hobbits and dwarves!
So we are having chocolate and beer this morning already? - Well, I just woke up, but oookaaaaay! right after this cup of coffee...
To: HairOfTheDog
Good morning! Hm...coffee is another thing I'd like to say had health benefits. Wasn't there something posted about it a few months back?

Still, reading is hard for him. But good for him for workin' at it.

I found a review of the LOTR concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Here's an excerpt.
The LORD OF THE RINGS Concert at the Hollywood Bowl!I really want to put in some effort to pimp this show. Because it is like the difference between seeing a movie at home and on the big screen. There's no comparison. Hearing a great score in front a full orchestra is breathtaking. You have this rich warm sound and then the individual instruments and voices jump out at you. The Flute Whistle playing the Hobbit theme. The Boy Soprano singing Gandalf's Lament. The Trumpets that herald every victory of the Fellowship or feeling the resonating clang of metal of the Uruk-Hai attack. That you should see -- I mean hear.
After the show, I was able to talk to several Members of the Chorus. We chatted awhile about music in general and one of them was kind enough to let me see their part. It's really a trip seeing sheet music with lyrics in Elvish on them.

"Apparently, I got my sense of humor (and much of my physical appearance) from my paternal grandmother "
Then she must have been a very attractive (though not without opinions) lady.

Hey it's time for elevensies on the East Coast...Ha!
One of my favorite parts of the movie, by the way. The funniest thing is that, upon stating that they haven't had SECOND breakfast, Pippin gets this sort of smug look on his face, like, "I've got you THERE, haven't I? You have to admit we haven't had THAT yet." Thinks he's won the argument. And is shocked when Aragorn just IGNORES him.

I would go see that if they came near! - How neat that would be!

Coffee makes me cheerful and perky ... that is a health benefit!

The funniest thing is that, upon stating that they haven't had SECOND breakfast... My new boss is a friend from the church we used to attend. So one day I was talking to a co-worker and told her "tell Joe he needs to bring donuts." She dared me to. So a few minutes later I told her he wanted to know Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts (I had said nothing to him).
She e-mailed him and said, "If it's all the same to you I prefer Krispy Kreme."
He responded, "I love your note, but I don't know what you're talking about."
So we have this running thing asking "are their donuts?" which usually gets the response "I don't think they know about Second Breakfast..."

Hey it's time for elevensies on the East Coast... Mmmmm...sandwich....munch munch munch...
