I’m selling a few things on eBay. Take a look and see if there’s anything you might want.
I’ve been enjoying the Lord of the Rings movies so far. I’m glad I finally broke down a few years ago and read the books (my parents have been Tolkein fans since they were in college). It has allowed me to more fully appreciate the humor that has cropped up since the masses started to become aware of Hobbits and Elves.

Feeling depressed and lonely because the world is going to hell in a handbasket? Here’s something to cheer you up!
