J. R. R. Tolkien, the Oxford professor best known for creating "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "The Hobbit," was born on this day in 1892. (it's also my mom's birthday -- Happy Birthday, Mom!) Recently, after a long, drawn-out legal battle, LOTR director Peter Jackson announced he will indeed be directing "The Hobbit," though it will take years to get to the screen. I know, I sound like a geek but I really enjoyed these movies and I'm looking forward to seeing "The Hobbit."
