Tolkien's Birthday - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, I toasted Prof. Tolkien at as close to 3 p.m. CST (21:00 GMT) as I could, according to the instructions on the Tolkien Society webpage. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] The only odd thing about it was that I was a mile out on my walk and instinctively turned towards the West to give the toast (which was with a bottle previously containing vanilla extract filled with just enough red wine to fulfill the toast.) I did not even realize I had been facing West until I was on the way back home--just thought it appropriate, even if my location is way far west already from a posited Britain-based Middle Earth...

Cheers!
Lyta
