All our bags are packed, we’re ready to go … off to California for the holidays.
Not that it will be an overwhelmingly vacationy vacation, since I’ll be doing a lot of work in the office, to make up for time off in February. Indeed, that will even include tomorrow morning, for a couple of important meetings. It will be a good opportunity to be working where the New Boss is, but it does take a bit off the Faerie-like nature of these trips.
That said, the house will be guarded by an alarm system, two attack cats, and occasional spot inspections by a tall crew-cut guy with a baseball bat and two large dogs. So don’t get any ideas …
Posting over the next few weeks will probably be spotty. On the one hand, the advantage of being in the office is broadband; on the other hand, I’ll be there with the Big Boss, so I can’t exactly goof off too badly. And on days off, I’ll have to chew up one of the Ks’ phone lines in order go sign in.
Only one thing is certain: I will go see The Two Towers some time this weekend, if I have to find a midnight showing to do so. 🙂

Since I won’t be there to whisper in your ear, I’ll take this opportunity to remind you that I have shaken hands with Saruman! Christopher Lee was the first celebrity I ever met at a convention (back in ’76, that was), and possibly the nicest. I’m glad he’s getting all these plum roles late in life.
I’ll also take this opportunity to say:
ENTS! ENTS! ENTS!
By far my favorite thing in this movie! And Mr. Davies does an excellent job voicing Treebeard! Hoom, hoom.
