My dearest Corwynne,
The imaginary writer's block may be lifting slowly. There was a strange incident the other day. I was driving to the store alone. I was listing to a CD in the car. Nothing of interest occurring just driving. A song came on which I think is called I'm not the Man. Picture it if you will, song going on the radio, me tooling down the highway.....
His eyes have gone away
escaping all the time
He rules a crowded nation
inside his mind
At this point I hear laughter from the backseat. I know that the kids are at homeso you can imagine my surprise when I turn to see Leggs laughing in the backseat. Now this is the part in a story about Leggs having an emotion where I say that his version on laughing equals something else. However this is not the case here. He was laughing where Leggs laughing equals laughing. I was in complete shock. It took me some time to ask him what he found so funny. He said that the song reminded him of us. But by this point the song had moved on to the line:
And the crowd cries "Hang him slow"
Then Leggs with a final snicker left. It took me quite some time to realize that he meant the line about ruling a crowded nation and not that he thought that one day there would be crowds of people clamoring for our deaths.
Anyway, it was nice to see him and remember having seen him again. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.
Hope that all is well in the White City and the Steel City and that Farimir is working out in his new post. Talk to you soon.
Your affectionate friend,
Kendrah

Imaginary Writer's Block
My dearest Corwynne,
I am sorry that I have not written in so long. It is strange, because I go to the settlement quite regularly and we are getting a lot done(I think). We probably eat and hang out talking and I am quite sure that parts of the conversations are funny or at the very least interesting enough to write to you about. The problem occurs when I get home and think that I will write to you.
When I sit to write, everything that we have done in the settlement becomes a blurr and the voices of our friends telling stories turn into the voice of the adults on Charlie Brown. The only thing I can figure is that this is imaginary writer's block. It is either that, or my imaginary friends don't want to play with me any more and this is their way of telling me. That would be pretty pathetic.
Anyway, I plan to spend some time there this weekend and hopefully I will be able to write about it upon my return.
Have a good time watching movies with which ever companion you choose. But remember not to let Eowyn cook if you are having her over. I would not enjoy reading a detailed account of the resulting illness.
Must go, it is time to put the baby in bed.
Your affectionate friend,
Kendrah

Weekends
My Dearest Kendrah,
Things have been fairly quiet here the past week. I am planning to spend the weekend in ME forgetting that the real world exists. Of course I have to work most of the weekend, but the opera should provide plenty of oppotunities for a fantasy vacations.
I have decided that afew days in a world where I am rich, thin and moderately powerful would be good for me right now. I am expecting King Arthur to arrive from NetFlix this weekend so I'll have to spend some time at home watching that. I was hoping Aragorn might find it interesting. He'll probably fall for that skinny little Keira Knightly in her leather bikini fighting garb. Well, at least I know he'll only flirt. He prefers women who sit home and make tapestries (and balance his checkbook, arrange official parties, welcome ambassadors...) Maybe I should invite Eowyn instead...we could have a Girls Night Out.
He seemed to enjoy Troy...at least the fight scenes. I thought it was a mess. At least Aragorn agreed with me that the score was not only uninspiring, but distracting.
Well I must get back to work. I will talk to you soon.
Your Affectionate Friend,
Corwynne

Elves and Football
My Dearest Kendrah,
I too find it amusing that Leggs thinks we know what we're doing! I also agree that keeping an eye on other real people in ME would be a good idea. I've read fan fiction...I know the trouble people can cause when they are out of their element. It might give all those retired Rangers something to do with their time (other than drinking in the Great Hall and taunting Aragorn about his new king clothes).
Last night was totally disturbing!! Aragorn had the boys over to watch the Steeler game. I expected Merry and Pippin to enjoy themselves, but I never thought the Elves would get so into it! It was most disconcerting to see Celeborn and The Sons, devouring nachos, swilling Iron City and frantically waving their Terrible Towels! Sadly, the Steelers lost...miserably...even I could tell it was pathetic! The boys didn't seem to mind. Merry and Pippin wrote a naughty drinking song about the Patriots quarterback's sister and Aragorn joined the Elves in composing a stirring lament to the downfall of the mighty warriors. I took my book, went to bed and shut the door.
When I got up this morning, there were still several guys passed out on the futon. I slunk out as quietly as I could. I hope that by the time I get home, they'll have all staggered off. I'm afraid they'll want to come back for the Super Bowl. I don't know if I can handle any more football.
Perhaps I can get them to watch figure skating?
Well, must go run some annoying reports before I head back to my (hopefully) football free apartment. And it's still snowing

Coronations, Restraining Orders and the census...Oh my!
My Dearest Corwynne,
I was reminded in your past letter that I wanted to tell you that I was amazed by your generousity in having the restraining order lifted so that PJ could film the coronation scene in ROTK. I think that the movie would have been lacking if they left the scene out as they had planned to when PJ found out about the order. I thought it was a very nice thing for you to do.
Legolas is all for the census. He thinks that it would be a good opportunity to find other real world people who might be having imaginary lives in other parts of middle earth. He thinks it would be nice for us to have other people around who understand just what it is we are doing. I find it amusing that Leggs thinks we know what were are doing!
Well, I must start dinner.
Your affectionate friend,
Kendrah
