Happy New Year
Helping spiff up the house before the Chicago Tribune photographer gets here (Professor Tolkien will be eleventy-one shortly, and the Trib decided to call David), so not much time to blog—but wishing everybody a safe and joyful new year.
Drink and drive, and I will personally come kick your butt, assuming your butt survives such moronic behavior at all. Don’t do it.
Update: Nearly two hours later, and the photographer’s only now packing up his stuff to go. A lot of work for what will probably be one picture if that! I may have managed to get Dream into the Trib, which would be cool although I doubt Dream appreciates the honor. But every newspaper needs some Goth-cattitude.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born January 3, 1892, so one presumes that the Trib will publish the article this Friday.
