Pardon my eruption but I'm excited.
What with COVID I had to cancel holiday plans a few times and ended up with lots of unused days off. So, since I always take at least two days off around Thanksgiving to celebrate that holiday (and also my anniversary - can't forget that!) I've ended up extending that and I'll have the whole last week of November off. YES!
Since COVID has really dampened a lot of social activities etc. we're going to try to make the most of that week for a whole Thanksgiving/pre-Christmas celebration week with various activities and events.
However, one thing I'm going to do at last, is have a bit of a Lord of the Rings marathon and over the week watch each of the six movies in their extended editions (which I've never seen). I'll probably do one a day. My wife is up for it and one other friend at least. I'm even tempted to splurge on an upgrade of our TV to a higher-def one just to enjoy the spectacle (we'll see about that).
I was going to watch them in chronological order, however, I came across a suggested order of:
Fellowship
Hobbit Trilogy
Two Towers
Return of the King
So I think I'm going to go that route!
Man I'm looking forward to a week off work!
Just have to survive a couple more weeks to get there!
