Fascinating! Thank you, Jame!

Btw, I saw the movie again at Cinemark...only 20 people there at the 2pm matinee and cost me $3.75.

It was fabulous.

I am going to Cinemark Saturday. I am finally getting to use my free ticket that came with the DVD. You would not believe how excited I am!!! I didn't get to see FOTR at the theater, so this will be a real treat.

I am going tomorrow night to the Drafthouse with my daughter to see it again. My 5th. Very excited. It should be great fun.

You remember me telling you guys about her father who was a big Tolkien fan. I remember him spending many hours at work on construction of his own new language. I wish I had paid more attention, and wish I had saved those pages. He was such a fascination, for a young girl to even begin to try and keep up with. He graduated late sixties from our High School some yrs before me, and was president of everything; still holds several records of accomplishment there for things like highest amount of scholarship monies ever offered to a student. He chose Rice University. But, you could not raise a family with a person like him. We divorced in the mid-seventies, but stayed good friends until he died. My current husband and I have been married almost 20 years, and he has never disappointed me, is a wonderful father to our daughter and she loves him very much.

I don't know why I am telling ya'll all this. Sorry. ;^)

I guess, with all the Tolkien, I am missing him, and so is she. He would have loved these days I think.

I've been very busy with things lately and haven't had a lot of personal time. I'm glad I was able to see The Two Towers 4 times before life became hectic. Hopefully this next week I will have a little more free time. I've been itching to go see it again. :-)
