Oh, come on now, Hair...you know that's not what I mean! :-)

I'm referring to those who are fans of Lord of the Rings, strictly based on their experiences with the movie...ie, those who haven't read a stitch of Tolkien's works.

I have such a "poser" in one of my co-workers, who once told me that he was a "huge fan". I, thinking that I'd have someone to actually discuss all the many nuances of Tolkien's writings, was apparently foolish for believing so. I attempted to initiate a discussion on the origins of, and purpose of, Tom Bombadil, only to have my co-worker stare blankly at me and say, "Who's that? Is he in the 3rd movie?"

Those are the people who irritate me. Not all my lovely friends at the Hobbit Hole! You folks are dear to me!

Oh...btw...12 hours till the Big Move. Panic has turned to a feeling of blissful ignorance. "If it gets done, it gets done."

LOL...I actually thought I could control such a huge event, down to the last detail. I was sorely mistaken!!
