Story of the Issue

We've been drinking deeply from one of our favorite times of year, down to the marrow, and our bags are once again packed for an adventure. This is one we don't need to remind you of. So for now, in time of need, I'll offer up a quote that says everything I couldn't.

The road goes ever on and on

Down from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the road has gone,

And I must follow, if I can,

Pursuing it with eager feet,

Until it joins some larger way

Where many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say.

J.R.R. Tolkien The Fellowship of the Ring
