I am, I am! A few days ago I was talking about the record/picture book of the Hobbit I’d had as a child and found a copy of it in fantastic shape. So, I bought it for myself as a birthday present. I don’t think it’ll be here today, sadly, but it’s my thoughts about myself that count, right?
I hope you’re all reading instead of spending a bunch of time on the internet, but I’ll forgive you for checking in. Me? I wrote this last night – am setting it to post at midnight, my time – and probably won’t be online much today. I hate my birthday and tend to avoid everyone on it, so I’ll be sequestered in my little Hobbit-hole with this book. Happy PtBiB Day, everyone!
Not to mention that my time’s out of whack with yours, so I’ve got a head-start
