I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I built my life around you.
Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too.
Yeah, I'm getting older too.

You know, it feels like only a few months ago yesterday that I was an angsty unhappy tweenager who stole laptops from my dad, locked myself in my room back at Bag End and admired my

Hello, Frodo-lad! Well, actually, your writing here just helped me catch up on some history I missed, so I found it helpful really. You *are* quite accomplished!

Anyway, I haven't seen you since you were quite small.
I don't know how to make you feel better it's only a brew of St.John's Wort between me and a page of italics. A game of golf at the Country Club at Frogmorten, perhaps?

Golf?

I dunno how to golf . . .

[bbolger_baggins]

Sure, I'll show you how then you'll be one up on my clueless mun who doesn't know a fucking thing about golf.

Then, if you want, you can help me fold the 3000 fund-raising letters for DOMEACE and HADL and stuff them in envelopes. See, there's new things to try everyday!

*wonders if golf is fun*

*figures its better than sitting around playing with his toes.*

Okay. *gets up and follows you*

What is HADL and DOMEACE?

By the way, my name is Frodo, who are you? *offers timid handshake*

[bbolger_baggins]

HADL is the Hobbit Anti-Discrimination League. We've had to do a lot work establishing rights for hobbits in the southern realms especially. And DOMEACE is the Defenders of Middle-Earth Against Capitalist Encroachment. I work for the Eriador chapter. We've done work recently to keep fast-food chains out of Bree and protecting the woodlands around the Shire. Our Gondorian and Mordor chapters have had far less luck, I'm afraid.

Well, I haven't seen you since you were an infant, but I've seen your family pictures from time to time. I'm Bingo Bolger-Baggins. I'm Frodo Baggins' elder half-brother, though that fact makes my mother and Drogo a bit homicidal queasy, so you might not want to broadcast it around. And your father is my friend and inspiration. *shakes your hand firmly with a squeeze of affection*

Anyway, there's a meditative aspect to golf . . . come on, I'll show you!
