~~<p>What are you doing Friday night? I will be at the movies with Balin and Bilbo, Bifur and Bombur, Gandalf and Gollum. And 100 million other people. And my seed cake.</p>
<p>I am a Tolkien geek, without apology. I have read "The Hobbit" and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy too many times to count, including all the appendices ("Annals of Kings and Rulers," fascinating!). I've read less digestible J.R.R. Tolkien tales ("The Children of Huron," what a downer), his essays, letters and commentaries. I can tell you how the wizards Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast got to Middle-earth; how Middle-earth was formed. I can tell you … oh, never mind.</p>
