LOVE the graphic. At first I smiled, then I kind of got tears pricking at my eyes.

Hey, happy birthday, you! How cool that you share your birthday with Frodo and Bilbo. :)

(And how very odd that spellcheck questions 'Frodo' but not 'Bilbo')

Thank you! I've always been proud of the Frodo/Bilbo connection. And hey, that is weird that Frodo but not Bilbo.
