No problem with yellow boots but wasn't his jacket blue? I just picture him in loud primary colors when you'd think he'd buy earth tones. Maybe Goldberry did his shopping?
To: NewCenturions
Heh... Earth tones would also have been good. This is not to bad though!

He was based off a doll one of his kids had. Blame the doll manufacturers. :)

Sigh, just checked my home email (it's a pain with Comcast) and found out I have to be on stage tonight at 6:15. They're reworking the finale.
In one sense it's good, 'cause the rest of the show is working. They just want to make this more better...
See y'all tomorrow.

Good night Corin! - Break a leg more better!

Thansk for the link, John. I'll read it later.

I've got to run too. Be back later if I can!

I'm going to read the article when I get a minute.
But on pg, 26, of the "Letters," Tolkien himself directly describes Tom Bombadil as "the spirit of the vanishing countryside of Oxfordshire and Berkshire." Which would seem to be the ultimate authority.
You have an amazing lot of references.
To: Sam Cree
Remind me to put "Letters" on my amazon.com wish list!
To: NewCenturions
Yes, you should get it, it's surprisingly pleasant and interesting reading.
To: Corin Stormhands
Corin: I think you have a lot in common with my own dad. You care about your kid and you know that's a lot all on its own. I understand your wife may be unable to homeschool Jr but perhaps you could.
It sounds like academics is your main concern, and maybe you can help him. Perhaps if you cut back on his free time and focus on academics with him on evenings, and on weekends, it would help - not just help him get through his school but help him respect you more. I don't want to make this sound like I think your parenting is bad, but for the most part, if a kid is goofing off it's because he doesn't respect his parents. You deserve his respect, and he needs to understand that.
If there's anything I can help with - I don't really know that much about homeschooling from the parent end but I do understand the student part of it pretty well - let me know. And I'll be praying for your family.
Oh - and as a last suggestion, hold off on all of this until after the holidays. Let your schedule calm down before you even make any decisions, and don't send Jr off to military school until after Christmas ;-)

By the way, if anyone is around I'm about to start my DB class final. Pray! And also, pray for me tomorrow morning, ten Eastern, for my programming final, please....

As long as you don't mind Roman Catholic prayers! :>)
To: NewCenturions
I'm sure God doesn't care, so why should I?

Nice of them to schedule finals in plenty of time for the movie premiere!
To: NewCenturions
Yes, very considerate!
Of course, New Line might be smart enough to think of something like that on its own...

You've already got a Doctorate in Tolkien so programming will be a breeze.
To: Overtaxed
close your eyes and think of elves!
