If he wants a Tolkien ref it oughta be "Eye of Sauron"

You and Lindsey offer superb illustrations of the importance of competence, in very different ways.

FWIW, I don’t find you LESS sexy than 3 years ago.

Counterpoint: in 1999, when a phone rang, we didn’t ALL check our own.

It’s the Epstein Ballroom, whatever he tres to call it.
