With the maple tree in our front yard becoming increasingly denuded and looking more and more like the White Tree of Gondor, it only makes sense that as I allow my hair to grow back out and I’m starting to look my age, I’m looking more and more like Denethor (son of Ecthelion), the 26th and Final Steward of Gondor, as portrayed in the movies by John Noble.
I hope this doesn’t mean that I have to fight an orc army or Ring Wraiths on flying Nazgul. So far it’s just Two-Tone and the owl and they seem friendly-ish.
