Dearest Bilbo

5. What's your favorite walking song?

I don't think this is considered a walking song, but it's what I sing while I walk.
God is good, all the time.
He put this song of praise
In this heart of mine.
God is good, all the time.
Through the darkest night,
his light will shine.
God is good, God is good ,
all the time.

6. What's your favorite Middle-Earth walking song?

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
Any whither then? I cannot say.

7. Do you sing it to a tune? Which one/where did you get it?

I do sing it, but to a tune I made up.

My elliptical trainer.

10. If you had a Shire-pony what would you name him or her?

Cambell

11. Besides the usual camping & travel stuff, what single special item is in your hobbit-knapsack and why?

I'd have a book (whatever I'm reading at the time) just in case I found a good spot.

12. Are you travelling alone or with other Rivendell walkers, and do they have hobbit-alter-egos?

My daughter is accompanying me on my walks, although she is enjoying them from her seat in her stroller.

13. Many of you have or will post quotes from the book about walking-- but for this quiz, pick one that stands out the most in your mind, and then tell us why you like it or what it means to you.

I'll post this later.

14. In hobbit-society, have you come of age yet (33) or not? Not yet.

The hobbit simplicity. If only the world could be like the Shire. Oh, and my garden of course, and getting presents on everyone's birthdays. There is so much...

15. Pipes: yes or no? only if they can blow bubbles.

16. Ale: yes or no? Maybe a little.
17. Gardens: Yes or no? If yes, would you rather walk through, or weed & dig?

Yes! Anything to do with my garden sounds good to me.

18. Living below ground: yes or no?

If my hole was airy and had a lot a sunlight, then maybe. But like Raefindel, I would prefer a tree.

Nosy neighbors?

Exactly what I want to do in this world...be a hobbit psychologist. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

25. This one is for Dragoneyes: Will you try walking barefoot at some point, and what is your plan for doing it safely?

I might try if we can get to a park with trails, but not on the streets where I live.
