Trying to place myself on your Venn diagram. British, software engineer, writer, hiker, introvert. Last time I was in Wales I was crossing the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in a narrow boat. https://www.pontcysyllte-aqueduct.co.uk

Never read LOTR, nor saw the movie, so no idea what you were going on about.

A lovely read anyway!

You sound suspiciously cool, John. Might it be that you’re not a dork at all? 🤯😱

I don't believe anyone has ever hurled the epithet "cool" at me, although "suspiciously cool" is, well, cool! Coming from you, I'll take it as the highest compliment. I am most certainly a nerd, and not much of a geek, and it's possible that my wife has moderated my dorkiness.

I've seen Bill Gates irl by the way. I'd place him on the geek-dork axis.

🤝 You're right, let's keep Bill out. He can sit with the geek-dorks. He'd only kill my nerd-buzz.
