Did you ever hear excerpts the recording of Tolkien reading from the books? Rather interesting. "Morrr-dorrr", heavily rolled r's.

I am so proud of my 11 year old son......he read The Two Towers for a school project, but he was determined to finish it before seeing the movie! We are counting down the days and hours as well...........

Is he continuing on to Return of the King in the books now? - The Two Towers book ends with one heck of a cliff hanger!

Funny thing is I was thinking about getting an ark built yesterday when it seemed it would never stop raining!

Bwwaaaahahahahahaha!!! Thanks, Habs! Although I don't remember Bouchard ever being as fat as me. And believe it or not, despite the stunned expression, I hadn't had much to drink yet when that picture was taken.
