My Life to My Papa II - Middle Earth

It's been almost 30 years since the literary classic "My Life to My Papa" was written. Many changes have come about in the world and in the family since then, and I can think of no better way of celebrating this historic document's 30th anniversary than with an updated version. So here we go:

My Life to My Papa II:

What in the world does the title have anything to do with the subject matter? Who knows? I never was very good in expository writing as my high school English teacher in junior year who gave everyone a "C" could tell you. And in keeping with tradition, I will be as consistent and true to original form as possible.

Dad - Dad would best be described as a Hobbit. Just a regular simple guy from the country side, he would enjoy nothing more than returning to his Shire and enjoying the simple pleasures in life - playing MJ and smoking.

Mom - Mom is from the race of Man, definitely. And if she were assigned a kingdom I would definitely say she was a warrior woman from the kingdom of Rohan. To this day, even in her 60's her physical presence and perseverence still intimidates and strikes fear in to the hearts of other men.

Gah - Gah's best description would be a Dwarf. Although short and small in stature, she has a big heart. Her real life profession also requires the skill and craftmanship of the dwarves. The only difference is that she doesn't have a beard. We can work on that.

Goh - Unarguably the most well-read, Goh's best description would be Wizard. Who else would rather lock themselves in the bowels of the library and study manuscripts than be outside on a nice sunny 70 degree weather day?

Q - Tall, strong, and lumbering. Throw him in the rink and add hot-headed temper to that. Definitely from the race of Man. Not exactly sure where he's from, though. His mere size would suggest Numenorian descent.

V - I actually never described myself in the original manuscript. Today, though, I would have to say that I would be from the race of Elves from Rivendell. Slender and lithe, with decent height and deceptively strong, I believe wood Elf would be the best description.

There have been several additions to the family since the original writing of MLTMP, however it's ever-changing nature and size does not allow for additional descriptions at this time.
