Well it's a year off, so there's plenty of time to plan, and who knows, you may find it irresistable by then.

Sounds good to me.

We'd have to figure out somewhere to watch FoTR. My home is small, but it would do in a pinch.

It's my last year because I'm not going to do it after this. The reason is that I've decided to go back to school, and I need the Monday night to be taking classes. (That is if I plan to graduate before I retire)

The plays end up comedy mostly because kids are kids and they end up doing so pretty unplanned things that make me laugh.

College is going fine. I'm having a great time. I'm taking four classes... and Arabic and Hebrew language studies on the side. So, I'm quite busy.

What're you going to school for?

You're taking Hebrew? I would love to be able to take Hebrew. Unfortunately the program I'm in doesn't have Hebrew or Greek. ;^(

There are some Messianic Synagogues in town that conduct Hebrew classes. I may look them up at the beginning of the year.

Also, a VERY important class:

What's so precious about the Precious?

I think Smeagol should teach that one!

I'm in the SW, like RM. Both my kids are away in college, so as long as school's in session, I can be pretty flexible.

Hi everyone

Had a very busy weekend here, didn't get as much online time as I usually do... but I'm back. Say, what's that up in the road ahead...?

By the way, I think I'm probably one of the luckier spouses in the Hobbit Hole... my Rose doesn't think my time on the Hobbit Hole is weird at all.

Have a good day all!

Counter-terrorism. Which equals a PHD in Middle East Politics... .with fluency in Arabic and Hebrew.

I took Hebrew from a rabbi for year. Some of the computer programs on Hebrew may help you.

Because the Rabbi taught me a strong foundation, I have a tendency to be more advanced than what the synagogues teach... but not advanced enough to be fluent. So, I'm trying to teach myself. It's going all right.

For Arabic I have a private tutor.

Wow, I am impressed. I hope everything goes well for you.

No wonder you have such an interest in the ME(Middle Eastern not Middle Earthen) threads. I'm glad you're on our side. ;^)

What does the "SW" mean?

I was thinking we could do this over New Year's but maybe it would be better to wait until just after so that college will be back in session.

I have a long way to go. The PHD is the ultimate long time goal. There's a lot that can happen in the next few years.

SW means = Southwest? Like Arizona. Did Smeagol guess rightly!

I'm in the MW.

"SW" = South West

Usually means the suburb of Kendall, the home of Janet Reno and OJ Simpson!

I know you are here just biding your time on here until it's time to spam-race for the Precious....

I'm not very good at spam-racing to the Precious. I haven't managed to do it right yet. So, if it's a spam race, I will lose.
