Last night was my best friend's birthday party, and true to form, we had a theme and the theme was awesome: Hobbits! Like in The Lord of the Rings, there were heaps of food, families and children running around, games, presents, fireworks--pretty much anything one could want. Best of all, one of the hosts made a papier-mâché hobbit hole door!
Really, it's impossible to think of leaving Denver when surrounded by such wonderful friends and experiencing the comfort and merriment you can only have at parties where you know people so well that you can wander and converse freely. I told them my plans but the plans were like a thought bubble, not something substantial or tangible like the charcuterie board I assembled.
In the middle of the party, Pauline gave a speech, mirroring Bilbo's speech but without the disappearance. We cheered and booed appropriately. I suppose I'm the one who's disappearing. That feels a bit strange--but maybe it will be "there and back again."
