Showing pride in "The Hobbit", the professor, and all of you here.

An essay from my heart It is right to celebrate the publishing of this special book. "The Hobbit" is special to me because it took me to Middle-earth and there I have found treasures innumerable. I suppose the purpose of these essays is to enumerate those treasures. It would take a year! I'll tell you about one treasure. Having observed his wife becoming more and more preoccupied with Middle-earth, that is, reading everything and anything with the slightest connection to J.R.R. Tolkien, and spending hours online with people who were doing the same thing, my husband decided he should know more about his 'rival.' Reluctantly, he picked up "The Hobbit", a 'classic', which, by the definition and the experience of his American education, would be dry and difficult. He read. I waited. We two, best friends through 35 years of marriage, had somehow allowed an Oxford professor to come between us. I remember clearly the day I came home and saw my spouse, bemused, pencil in hand, "The Hobbit" next to his elbow, translating Dwarvish runes onto a sheet of paper! We travel to Middle-earth very often together now, a treasured joy, and, there we continue to find treasures innumerable. A million thanks to all who sponsored this. I am proud to honor (even in my small way) the professor and his work. hob
