1) I drove back to Wheaton.
2) J.R.R. Tolkien had his 118th birthday!
So it was little accident that I went to a wonderful birthday party in honor of the dearly departed Professor. Everyone had a blast and was sufficiently nerdy. The cakes would have made Bilbo proud, and the tea was a delightful delicacy to the palate.

Thank you, Dr. Tolkien, for leaving a legacy of monumental power and impact. We are the richer because of you.
