The New Hobbit Hole

that stinks up your weekend

LOL!! Really I feel quite good...I don't have these "spells" very often and most of the time I am very energetic. On the one hand, I'm relieved...on the other, confused!

Really I feel quite good...

I just meant the not knowing part. You'll be in my prayers.

Believe it or not, a few days ago LOTR actually came up as a topic on The Neverending Story thread. One of the regulars let it be known that his parents were such Tolkien freaks that his middle name is "Frodo", his siblings received Tolkienish middle names as well.

Thanks!

I hope they get your thing worked out! As long as the docs know what they're doing....

I just walked a mile and a half to a used bookstore, got six paperbacks (for $13 total!) and then walked back. Unfortunately my college is at the top of a really, really steep hill. The driveway is over a third of a mile long, and steep.... someone gave me a lift when I was halfway up, though, so I'm not totally dead. Just tired and hot, and my feet hurt. But it was a nice day for it, and I got new books.

I tell ya, there's just nothing like a bargain! And I just love to buy books. When I get a good price for a good book, I feel like I really have something!

Believe it or not, some of the best prices I've paid have been from Amazon (for new books). Even including the shipping, a lot of times I get the book or music at least the same price as I could get it at a bookstore...usually cheaper! And I don't have to hassle with the drive. Most drivers, other than myself, are lunatics. Usually you can't avoid getting out and driving around, but when I can, I'd just as soon not get out amongst the loons.

I do like being able to flip through a book and see if it's really worth what I'm paying for it first. Otherwise I'm sure I'd love to shop Amazon. They do have a great selection and it's neat, having a package of books show up at your house. But there's nothing quite like an afternoon at the bookstore, with a drink, a good book, and a soft chair. (Of course I generally read for, oh, three minutes before a brother comes begging for something!)

If "00" posts are the Precious, what does that make the "000" posts?

Well, we certainly aren't going to get to 4000 while I'm still on-line... so Smeagol will let go of the precious just this once.

Did you have your young thespians today?

-Kevin

[carton253]

No... today is lighting and setting up the set. (That's why I have to leave) Tomorrow the little ones go on. Saturday, the teen-agers. I've been sleeping rather well, so deep down I must be pretty confident that they will do well.

[Corin Stormhands]

Watching the clock with you...

Don't give up yet! We can get there. ;^)

The reason I was so exasperated Tuesday morning was the little ones were doing so well... then Monday, they fell apart. I mean in an hour we did 3 pages of script because we had so many crisises. I'm just going to chalk that up to nerves.

I am sure with a teacher like you they will do an outstanding job. I am glad to hear that you are sleeping well.

We can get there.

Well you can count on one trusty dwarf to join you.
