January 3rd marks J.R.R. Tolkien's 111 birthday, a very important number for Bilbo in the FotR. I was just finished the Hobbit for the umpteenth time, and actually read the short biography about Tolkien in the back when it struck me that he would be having a birthday soon, and an important one at that. So, for the sake of posterity, I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY , PROF. TOLKIEN, Author of great reknown and praise.
