Things I've learned in the last few weeks

Thing I learned #1: ( When given the choice, a teenage boy would much rather spend every waking moment playing computer games than go see the sights in Seattle. )

Thing I learned #2: ( Yes, it is possible to play too much Lord of the Rings Online. And, also, they've seriously nerfed the newbie quests since I did them the first time. )

I am, however, enjoying still occasionally bopping into Meneldor for a few minutes to play my low level characters through the early quests. My characters on Landroval are all high enough level that there's not a lot they can do that doesn't take either a fellowship or a LOT of time or both.

Thing I learned #3: Gardening can actually be fun and good exercise, ( but the earbuds for my MP3 player work much better when I don't snip through them with my pruning clippers. )

Thing I learned #4: Thanks to lage_nom_ai, I found out that Great Big Sea has a new CD out... which made me check their website where I discovered they were coming to Seattle in October! And I was able to get tickets the morning they went on sale, so we have some *excellent* seats. Squee!!!!
