The thought of going to Miami scares her.

Tell her it isn't Miami, it's Sunrise! And tell her that Sawgrass Mills is an outlet mall with great bargains and lots of stores! It's right off the expressway in a fabulous and safe neighborhood.

I just helped some customers of mine get reservations at the Wellesley Inn at Sawgrass. They're visiting from Mexico and are quite affluent.

Always fun to watch dwarves bluster and fume.

Just be sure to remind them of how lovely Galdriel is when they start to turn red!

I've got to finish up some work here and head home. See you all later if I can get online tonight. If not, tommorow!

Bye!

That and dangle an elven jewel in front of their eyes and they practically pee their trousers. It gets in their boots.... very nasty situation.

That old Silmarillion sounds very cool, ksen!

We got six inches of snow. Classes were canceled so I was at work all day. Now I have to figure out when I'm turning in my assignments, try to find out what's on the finals.... ugh. But it's very pretty. We haven't had this much snow in two years.

It is pretty cool. It's the same edition that I remember starting when I was a kid. It also has this HUGE fold out map attached to the inside of the back cover.

Let me see if I can find a pic of the cover........

Ah! Here is a pic of the one I bought:

Mine is a hardcover from 1977. Who said nothing good ever happened in the 70's?

That's a great big bloody gash on his head! Did you see the excellent close up shot of it during the special last night? I turned to my dear sweet indulgent hubby who had to endure my frustration of nobody believing me and said "SEEEEEE???" He said "I never doubted you."

2jm is feeling very smug.

Just sec...let me check mine.

March, 1979

I think it's the first paperback edition, because I have always understood that my mom waited to get it for me till it came out in paperback.
