But, I have moved to a new city, 200 miles from my host of longtime friends.

And now you've arrived at The Hobbit Hole where you will find a new host of friends (hopefully longtime).

Welcome! You're not an elf are you?

Thanks for all the welcomes.

I'm sorry. I'm prob'ly an elf. I was inspired to make myself an elf cape way back in the '70s. Everytime I would read the books I would find myself dressing in greens, browns and earthy stuff and wearing my cape. (I generally have read the books every winter since 7th grade. The cape fit the weather in Texas.)

I don't reckon I can change my spots now but will try not to offend.

Hey there, everybody!

I come back to you at the turning of the tide!

Is there a room left for me? I don't need a very big one... Beautiful new place here!

I had fallen into Shadow there for a while. Sorry for my long spell of uncommunicativity. A lot of stress in my life led me to abandon FR for a while. Work was (and will continue to be for another month or so) on full overload. The kids got sick, my wife got sick, I got sick. My 83 year old aunt has been having problematic episodes relating to probable alzheimers/dementia symptoms. Christmas plays and musicals, etc., etc.

Things are kind of getting back to level now, but I will not be FReeping much from work any more. I came under conviction that it was a form of employee theft, cheating my employer, and I am much more productive and happy with my job when I don't allow the FR addiction into the workplace.

Very excited about the movie. I won't be able to see it until Sunday afternoon. Eagerly anticipating lots of fun discussion about it here...

Take care all!
