Happy New Year

I want to wish you all a happy new year and to fill you in on plans with this blog. I've added a search option to the right so that you can search by website name. I've compiled more sites to add to this web guide and will start doing so tomorrow. In the meantime enjoy the weekend and thanks for checking in.

Just a quick note

I have added a new category to the topics covered in the index. There is now a page for Fan Fiction.

Changes for this blog

Hello,

As you regulars can see there have been changes in the format of this blog. Due to time constraints I can no longer keep up with current events (at the rate I was doing) in the art and literature world. Besides, who wants to read the news twice!

Instead, I wanted to collect articles, sites, art and literature information on all things (or give it a good try) Tolkien. Realizing there is a new movie rendition of The Hobbit in the works, I'll let the experts (The One Ring.net) keep up with that news.

So, I am anxious to get going and have added several new posts.

Happy Birthday Professor!

Today is the Professor's eleventy-sixth birthday. I raise my glass in thanks. For leaving on that road I never knew where it would take me. It has been a lovely ride for sure.

"I wish life was not so short," he thought. "Languages take such a time, and so do all the things one wants to know about."
