That and the fact that your brother stole my books! That was fun.

Oh, yeah, I remember that!

Seems like I've known the LOTR folks a lot longer than a year...the Ring Ping King has only been here a year??

Only a year. I keep thinking about it today, of course. Not getting much done. I need to try, but you know how it is...

I am thinking about the decision I made to stay home that day. That I seriously considered that Seattle could be hit by this enemy. I had never felt vulnerable to an attack before, in this country. And now it wouldn't be that surprising. How quickly things can change, indeed.

And I guess "officially" I've been here an even shorter time...I lurked for a LONG time before joining. Took all the LOTR stuff that started appearing to flush me out and make me decide to join!
