Life is an adventure. You never know where that road might take you... just like Bilbo said.
You HOBBIT you. I guess you're very respected in the Shire.
Me too, which is why I always carry tools with me to help tame the adventure. Bilbo left his house without even a handkerchief. Not me. A hankie and pocket knife in my pocketsses at all times, a LED flashlight on my keychain, a combo screwdriver/pen, pen/stylus/laser pointer, and hemostat in pockets on my eyeglass case, and I'm good to go.
Gadgets help tame adventures. The front side of my briefcase has albums of CDs to do software work. The back side has my cable tester, DVM, and enough tools to dissassemble anything smaller than a refrigerator and bigger than a Swiss watch. For the really big adventures, there's my trusty Glock 21, and Remington 700.
So yes, I'm afraid of adventures too, because they disturb the dullness I seek in life. That's why it's important to have enough gadgets to keep adventures at bay.
