I have always wished for a wizard to come knocking on my door and maybe whisk me away on a grand adventure in the far away lands of lothlorien and gondor.
But there you were, mundane as life, the smile in your eyes promising mine as you handed 2 and a half hour's journey into my hands, seemingly immune to my ungrateful exclamations of 'siao!' and 'crazy la you.'
And then the indulgent silence that followed as we both breathed contentment....

Gandalf's fireworks would pale in comparison to this sort of magic.
