Gandalf: Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee. Have you been eavesdropping?
Sam: I ain't been droppin' no eaves sir, honest. I was just cutting the grass under the window there, if you'll follow me.
Gandalf: A little late for trimming the verge, don't you think?
Sam: I heard raised voices.
Gandalf: What did you hear? Speak.
Sam: N-nothing important. That is, I heard a good deal about a ring, and a Dark Lord, and something about the end of the world, but... Please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me. Don't turn me into anything... unnatural.

This is why I came to call my blog Droppin Eaves. Sam, the best friend of Frodo, was curious and wanted to listen in and find out what Gandolf had to say. What was interesting about Sam is what he did after he heard what was said.
No matter how dangerous the topic was, he decided to act and follow his best friend on an adventure that forever changed them and Middle Earth. I kind of look at blogs the same way. I want to journal my experiences, ideas and opinions. And hopefully you all are Droppin Eaves and would like to jump in on an adventure that will change your life and the world around you.
