Today is J. R. R. Tolkien’s 110th birthday. To celebrate, the .Tolkien Society has organized a world-wide toast to the man in just over an hour from . Even if you’re late to the toast, the next time you slant a mighty beverage, raise a glass to The Professor. Hmmm… next year will be his eleventy-first birthday. Sounds like a good excuse for a large party at my place. Remind me later.
