Tales and Thoughts from a Hobbit on The Road
"We all have two lives. The second one starts when we realize that we only have one." - Tom Hiddleston Nota bene: nobody knows who said that first, but I heard Hiddleston say it, so I'm just going to attribute it to him. *Fistbump* Anyway, I've been having a glorious day today; I mean, absolutely glorious....

The sensualist, I'll allow ye, begins by pursuing a real pleasure, though a small one. His sin is the less.

My head throbs. It slumps toward the table. I jerk back, eyes shooting open. I look at the time. Seven thirty reads the clock at the tiny right hand corner of my computer.
