I couldn't pick any one favorite thing about Tolkien. I do like the idea of a chat room meeting on his birthday. Perhaps a time frame might be helpful here? Suggestions?

Hurray for Tolly (as his friends called him)!

Ooh, favorite thing... hmmm... wow... I couldn't choose a single favorite thing. Probably his incredible ability to make such a complete world. He was a genius, keeping all of his time frames aligned with very few errors, and how he didn't contradict his information. He truly was a amazing.

Well, now it looks like I won't be able to make it on the 3rd. :cry:

I'll be helping my grandmother nearly all day. She's taken a paper route to make a little extra money. (Yes, she's not the average Gramma. ;) ) And I have to help her to put the newspapers in the little bags. There's a few thousand papers, and we have to put in all the inserts, so it'll take us about 6 or 7 hours (with a break for cookies and tea :grin: ).
Sorry. :( Just have a party without me.
