Back to Middle-earth Month

Admittedly I've been ragging on Tolkien a lot, recently.  Which is fun and (imo) often warranted, but I also realize that it's rather unfair of me, after a point.  Despite any Arda hangups I might have, this world, through these writings, has given me an incredible amount of joy lo this past decade, and I should probably acknowledge that more often, at least a little bit.  So today, I cut some slack for both Tolkien, and myself.
