We spent a lovely, relaxing week-out-of-time at Mt Hutt, where we watched a lot of movies, I made lots of cookies, and we enjoyed being indoors while it rained. In addition to A Day at the Races, The Lake House and Shaft, we also watched the Lord of the Rings set. And it occured to us that Sam doesn't get enough credit. Sure, Frodo actually carried the ring, but if Sam hadn't been there with him, he would have absconded, been eaten by a spider, fallen to his death and starved. David thinks Sam should have just pushed Frodo into the bubbling lava when he wouldn't give up the ring, but maybe that's too extreme? At any rate, he's just so cute.
