Our dog Mungo

So, Monster Alice and I are a little worried about our dog Mungo. He apparently has what is called a "mast cell tumor". We're taking him in to get it removed and biopsied after FSG. We're really hoping it's only stage 1 and that will be that, but good thoughts or prayers for him would be appreciated.

Let's raise a glass to:

Lord Summerisle
The Comte de Rochefort
Saruman
Dracula
The Man with the Golden Gun

and many many others...

A man who had met Tolkien, re-read the Lord of the Rings every year, and told Peter Jackson exactly what sort of noise someone makes when you stab them from behind...

Actor. Warrior. And totally metal.

Hail to the traveler!
