2023 Birthday Toast

May the lord of the black lands come forth- so that the heroes of the master of fantasy may vanquish him! Happy birthday to the greatest!

Toast to the beloved JRR Tolkien — who entertained us, enlightened us & helped to prepare us for The Great Battle of Our Time. Hope to meet you on the other side

… to remove all the scars of war and the memory of darkness. Westu hál!

Took me 43 years to realize I share the same birthday as J.R.R. Tolkien. Cheers to one of the greatest authors ever!

To the most magical dream ever created to describe reality!

To all the wonder-filled journeys we have embarked upon, and to all the journeys yet to be undertaken! Here’s to the Professor!

The Professor! And to all who drink to him today!

May his memory be eternal and may he reside beyond the gates of Paradise. A wonderous tale inspired by a Godly spirit.

The Professor!

To the opportunity to decide what to do with the time that is given us!
