Sorry, I couldn't help the reference to The Hobbit. I suppose you will all forgive me? Here's a video chronicling my trip. The greetings are to the other people involved in the blog project I'm a part of. You can find out more about that at our Ning page. I didn't bother with much footage of John and Hank because my sound was kind of wonky and I'm too tired to go through and p… Continue

...so I suppose that I'll just stick to the good, old-fashioned blogging.

Wait a second, when did textual blogging become old-fashioned? My brain just exploded a little bit.
