Here I am at Harp. I'm so pale and washed out that I am going to have to get a little sun (with sunscreen of course) soon or I'll look like a total goth. I have now entered United flight miles back to 2005 on flight memory and have to start looking at scrapbooks to get older flight info loaded. I also found an old stack of random airline mile updates and can add those. My goal is to add what I have, go back and look up all the vacation boarding passes for the last 7 years and then give up on the past and keep all records updated going forward. I may have to add in a few trips minus the actual dates just to make the map look right. After all, I'd hate to leave Rhode Island without a flight after all the trouble it took me to finally get there!
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...
I think you look just fine!
ReplyDeleteI love your map of flights - you need to get all the states in since you worked so hard to get all 50!

Most of those states were earned by driving though. I think I've flown to 18 states total.
