Jan. 18th, 2026 07:05 pmThis was a busy day, and one where I had my boots on for almost the whole thing. I started out by shoveling the snow again. There wasn't a lot, just an inch or two. I didn't think I'd be able to do it in time for us to get to church, but my charming next door neighbor child came out and helped me. We met in the middle of the driveway like the transcontinental railroad. So the Sparrowhawk hustled into his clothes, and we went to church. I don't normally show up in my boots and shoveling clothes and drip all over the floor, but what are you gonna do.
We went straight from there to the movie theater, where we picked up a quick sandwich and ate it before the movie (RotK in the extended version) started. Again, it was a totally immersive experience, and I gloried in the landscapes and the horses. Of course, that meant that some of the director's errors and self-indulgences were more glaringly obvious, too, so I had my eyes shut some of the time. TOO MANY ORCS. And some other things, too, but I won't kvetch about them because overall, as I said, it was a magnificent experience. A really big snowstorm is coming, but mercifully, it had not really started by the time we drove home. We're not making any mad dashes for bread, milk, and TP, because we are pretty well supplied. I'm happy to take my boots off and settle down in my hobbit hole again.
