Ooops! There are a couple of changes I need to make on the art challenges, but other than that, I believe the dates are correct. So stay tuned for July 5th and the beginning of the study! Yay!
Changes made!

At this point I would like to thank everyone for your participation in The Hobbit study thus far! I am thrilled with your posts and have earmarked a number of them for reply. Other circumstances have made it a challenge for me to keep up with the study, and I thank you all for your patience and understanding. For one thing, simultaneously with the study, I dissolved a partnership and opened a new office, moving to a new location. My office assistant starts work August 2. Meanwhile, I have been putting in 10 and 12 hour work days. Then, I was sick all last week. But I am on the rebound now, and I plan to use the break to do some catching up. Keep up the good reading and thinking! Best regards, Sparrow

Hi Sparrow,
I didn't know the Hobbit Study had started, 'til I chatted with Majah last night! Hope I can catch up...
Hugs, Sigevna

I apologize for not participating the last ten days or so but I'd been away and then I had some sort of problems too. And I'm afraid I'm leaving again next week for much-needed holidays. I doubt whether I'll have access to a computer where I'm going but I'm taking the book with me anyway. Fortunately the study will last till October, so I'll miss only a part of it. By the way, I want to thank all of you who are organizing it for the great job you're doing.

Greenleaf:
Have fun on your holidays! Those are much needed by everyone!
The Hobbit Study will still be here when you get back and you can catch up then!

Siggy, Desi, Greenleaf - you can see I have not managed to follow the syllabus very strictly. You can, of course, always "catch up" because the study never closes! Enjoy your vacations and your summer activities! I may be plugging away at this well past October! Best regards, Sparrow

Yeah. Well, I have fallen further off the syllabus. Nevertheless I do intend to stay with the syllabus. I plan to post Chapter VII's questions Tuesday, Chapter VIII's Thursday, and Chapter IX's Sunday as scheduled. Thank you for bearing with me, and thank you for your posts and participation. My professional life continues to spiral out of control, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel, and I hope it is not a train! Good night, everyone. ~Sparrow

We plan to keep the Hobbit study on hold till after the Holidays. We feel this is best for those preparing the study and those getting involved with it. We plan on having it running again in January (1st or 2nd week), so we hope to see everyone then!

And...Stormrider will get those quizzes going again, too! I do have the quizzes for Chapters 11 and 12 done in Word but still need to convert them to html so they function as quizzes on the site. I had better get cracking!
