It was a long time in coming, wasn't it, gramma?

Remember standing in that huge ballroom in Hollywood, seeing all our heroes up on the stage, glittering like jewels with their Oscars held high? Remember chanting "Let The Hobbit Happen!" until we were hoarse? Remember the postcard campaign? It all seems like a lifetime ago, yet, when I watch the trailers for The Hobbit, Middle Earth becomes as immediate and real as the ground I'm standing on. Shortly we'll be watching PJ's Christmas gift to us all (and yes, I've got about that many viewings lined up, too!!), but to me, the real gift is that this return to Middle Earth has re-kindled friendships and brings back the same love, excitement, and pure joy that we share in our little community (and you know what I'm talking about). TORn and the LOTR films introduced me to a community that ultimately brought me some of the very best experiences and now memories of my entire life. gramma, I'm glad you're with me.
