During these many months of COVID19, it is sometimes difficult to remember that Good Things Still Happen.
We would like share some of our Good Things both the profound and the mundane, hoping some of them might bring joy to your own lives.
Wishing all a happy, fun and safe holiday season.

The many friends during my 99 years

LOTRO - Lord of the Rings Online MMORPG video game.
I've been playing LOTRO since the beta more than a decade ago. The game has changed ownership several times but the story remains the same a JRR Tolkien wrote it. Of course there are many paths across Middle-Earth and that's part of the fun.
During the first part of the COVID19 shutdown they opened all their servers to everyone so they could play for free.
It was a fantastic gesture and gift.
Recently my brother and I have reached the zenith of the books: the Fall of Sauron. Standing with Aragorn as the last of the free peoples are overwhelmed by the hordes pouring out of the Black Gates of Mordor, and engulfing all that stands in the way of their evil master. The deaths of the Lords of Gondor and the Rangers of the North, some who fell at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields and the rest in front of the Black Gates.
"No one Is coming" says Aragorn, "but we will stand until the end."
And so shall we stand against the darkness, despair, death and injustice as the ongoing effects of the pandemic play out in real life.
