Spent most of the day at a Hobbit t-ball game and working the concession stand. With all those little hungry Hobbits, we were busier than a hive of Beorn's honeybees. Decided to walk when I got back to my hobbit-hole and I finally made it to Stock. At this rate, I might actually make it to Bucklebury Ferry by the end of next week.

Wonderful folk, Elves, sir! Wonderful!"...."Do you feel any need to leave the Shire now--now that your wish to see them has come true already?" he asked.
"Yes, sir. I don't know how to say it, but after last night I feel different. I seem to see ahead, in a kind of way. I know we are going to take a very long road, into darkness; but I know I can't turn back. It isn't to see Elves now, nor dragons, nor mountains, that I want--I don't rightly know what I want: but I have something to do before the end, and it lies ahead, not in the Shire. I must see it through, sir, if you understand me."
"I don't altogether. But I understand that Gandalf chose me a good companion. I am content. We will go together."
