Two Important Birthdays

[eldritchhobbit]

Happy Birthday to J.R.R. Tolkien, who was born this day in 1892. I hope everyone will participate in The Tolkien Society's Birthday Toast for 2005. Thank you, Professor, for your words!

And also happy birthday to The Shire's Virginia Lórien, a.k.a. Virginia, the world's most beautiful Boston terrier and our best friend, who was born this day in 2002. We love you, Hobbit girl!

"To thee no star be dark. Both heaven and earth friend thee for ever."

Ah, if only other authors realized that they were hacks compared to JRRT... ;-) You're right, of course. Compared to what JRRT put into his work, little else can compare. And seriously, real men should cry at Theoden's death. I'm proud to know you! Thanks for doing your part to keep the Professor in the dialogue -- and the doggie thanks you for your good wishes, too! :)
