7. Oh, don't get me wrong. I like getting out of town every once in a while.

I get to eat all the pizza and drink all the alcohol I want.

But it can get lonely when the seminars are over and there's nothing but the hotel room. Which is why I love DU and DU-ers; you keep me company in lonely times.

I'm reading The History Of the Hobbit by John D. Rateliff. It's a thorough, not to say exhaustive, study of the process Tolkien went through in writing his masterpiece and prelude to The Lord Of the Rings. It includes the complete unpublished original manuscript version of the novel.
