We’re having another Hobbit Day at our house on Sunday! All are invited, hobbit dress encouraged but not required. Must bring a beverage or maybe a dish (hobbit foods only, please). Appetites a must!

Last Hobbit Day menu included great foods such as Sauron Eyeballs, Bilbo’s Tea Cake, Irish Scones, Daddy Twofoot’s Eggplant Parmesan, Roasted Green Beans, Taters Boulangere, and wonderful drinks such as Merry’s Spiced Chai and Merry’s Mulled Cider.

lessons of the month

This month has flown right by, but not without some learning experiences. Here are some things I learned:

  • Never give Schr?die flea medicine while wearing a decent shirt; she still has back claws.
  • There is a limit as to how much milk one can ingest in the span of three minutes.
  • High school kids that play in pit bands are really cool.
  • The Comfort Inn is not that comfortable.
  • It can take 50 minutes to drive 5 miles when there is night construction on I-95.
  • Always make a backup of a database table before you do anything to it.
  • Agatha Christie is still a good read.
  • Some vampire cable shows should never have been made.

Good luck, Constantine

Watching the Tony’s and trying to do homeworkat the same time. (Guess what’s getting more of my attention.) The West Side Story dance number was excellent! I can’t wait to do that show again.

Here’s Constantine and Kerri, a few years ago, after Rent in Boston.

Kerri has been in love with him since then. We had to watch nearly an entire season of American Idol because Constantine was on it! It confirmed my suspicions that I would hate the show, but I was really impressed that Constantine made it as far as he did.

Hope you win tonight, Constantine!!
