Did you really believe that it was over? Did you think you could watch me, share me, READ ME without consequence? Oh no. It isn't over. It will never be over. As sure as the sun rises in the East, as sure as this world ends in fire, Ben. Drowns. You have drowned him. And now you will rejoice in celebration of his unholy baptism.

The Hobbits leave the house of Tom Bombadil with one assignment: don't go to the barrow-downs. Sure would be a shame if they happened to have a picnic/nap right on top of one...

We spend an evening in the house of Tom Bombadil. Good food and good(ish) song flow freely. Then after dinner Tom takes us to sit by the fire and shares with us his insight into the nature of reality and the history of all creation. Everyone but Frodo falls asleep.

This week Ben attempts to recommend some books about modern magic, spiritualism, and ghosts. Nate said "that's not going to work for me brother." This is what happens when Nate was asked not to read the book and hasn't taken anything for his ADHD whatsoever. So... yeah, not really sure who this is for but if you want to listen to your boys talk about whatever, this scratches that particular itch.

This week Ben wastes tons of time ruining magic and horror for himself by reading The Amityville Horror and then researching it and then everything just goes off the rails. Nate is really really glad to not have had to read this.
