Happy Anniversary, BIlbo!

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the release of The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. My 6th grade teacher read this classic to our class, and started my love of Middle Earth. Today I want to dig out my old, worn copy of the book and relive Bilbo's adventure--before the movies come out. :)

Or perhaps I'll get myself a brand new, digital copy. Knowing my boxes of stored books, a new one would be much easier.

But until that time, here's Leonard Nimoy and the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. Continue watching to the end for one of my favorite fun songs.

This reminds me of a favorite childhood book!

Isn't it great when the past and present come together. 

Now, where's The Doctor?
