With a perfect sense of irony, it appears that the spirit of the one ring has been reforged even as we spent the day watching its demise. But first, a recap:

Oh Happy Day!

This Week Bites
See that guy? The one with the wings? Yeah, I’ve been digesting in his stomach all week. Fun stuff. Its called work. Hey kids, unemployment isn’t always a bad thing. I’ll be back once I’ve been regurgitated. Until then, think happy thoughts.
Thursday Thoughts
Actually this is more of a catch up on all the odds and ends of things that I have been meaning to post and haven’t gotten to. And so, in no particular order:
This is the image I was greeted with on November 1st when I arrived at work and turned over the page of my Frank Frazetta calendar. If you don’t know who Frazetta is or if you’re curious about just how geeked I can get over someone, please go here, here, and here for my ravings. This was a gift at Christmas and each month it is a thrill to see what the next image is. I particularly like this one, the cover of Death Dealer V, because the colors are very autumnal and because it reminds me of The Lord of the Rings. This being month one of two for my annual LOTR obsessing, I found this image extremely gratifying and enjoy looking at it every time it catches my eye.

Wow! It has been an amazing 2 month period of shared reading. Allow me to begin the eulogy of the 2006 Readers in Peril (R.I.P.) Autumn Challenge with the most heartfelt Thank You that I can convey over this impersonnal medium. The number of people who participated in this challenge with reckless abandon has me in awe. Whether you dove in for the full challenge or were only able to commit to a few stories of an R.I.P. persuasion, I am thrilled that you joined in. Thank you so very, very much.
Show me the books he loves and I shall know the man
far better than through mortal friends.
