Oh yeah . . . minor geek moment here. The first installment of Lord of the Rings opens tomororw. Are you going to see it? May I live vicariously through you? I'm going to try to see it this weekend, but with an infant in the house . . . it's not easy to get away for three hours our so. My wife's a huge fan of the books and is dying to go. So am I.

I suppose it was bad planning to have a baby a month before an eagerly anticipated film opens. Perhaps we shouldn't have done that. Damn. What was I thinking?

But she's so cute. And she doesn't have hairy hobbit feet.
