TOLKIEN READING DAY
Celebrated around the world on March 25th, Tolkien Reading Day is a favorite among fans of the renowned author.
#TolkienReadingDay
J.R.R. Tolkien (Jan. 3, 1892 – Sept. 2, 1973) was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor. He was best known as the author of the classic works The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarrillion as well as Roverandom and Farmer Giles of Ham. However, he has published more than 30 books, several posthumously. The author has sold more than 150 million copies of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and that number continues to grow.

My stunning, blushing bride has PVCs. She has had them for years, they come and go.
About 14 years ago she went to a Cardiologist and they had her wear a ‘heart halter’ for several days, in order to count them.
The PVCs eventually subsided so she didn’t require any surgical correction.

We eventually got to see a real doctor, and he checked all of her vitals. By that time her pulse ...
I got up very early again this morning and accidently woke up the Frau.
Unfortunately, I, again, proved the axiom that "the quieter you try to be, the more noise you make!" 🧐😂😂😂😂
Because we can't hate the media enough -
I'll add that the drumming of "as the war drags on...." is so grating
