Ten years to the day since were were all coming back gushing about the FoTR in The Hobbit Hole. I met my husband there. Many of us who met there are still good friends, some have faded away.

I don’t know if that excitement, or that mood, can ever be recreated, at least here.

It is at least familiar and comfortable to see that the uber-geeks have lost none of their myopia. :~D

But....but.....but...why isn't **Arwen** at Rivendell?!? She's a few thousand years old, and Elrond's daughter and Galadriel's granddaughter, and already promised to Aragorn...didn't Bilbo say he knew Aragorn, in LOTR when at the Prancing Pony?

10 years... wow. I never thought the Hobbit Hole thread would turn out to make me some of the best friends I’ve ever had - or gain me a husband and a toddler.

I doubt we can find a way to get together to watch The Hobbit. Our lives have diverged a lot. But maybe we can all find a way to share that same excitement again.
