Oops.  It's been a long time since I read them.  I'm starting The
Fellowship of the Ring again and saw the movie twice.  Good movie, but
too short!  Read the book, you'll see why.  As I was watching the
movie I kept trying to remember if it was Bilbo or Frodo who met Tom
Bombadil.  Frodo and friends just got to Tom's house where I'm at in
the book now.

Thanks.
