for Grace, who’s been asking me for months to get the beacons lit…

One of my dearest friends, Grace, and I were FA-NAT-ICS about the LOTR movies.  Still are, actually.

My old work digs, Masterworks (where Grace still works) boasts a LOVELY view of the Olympics, especially on clear days.  A year or two ago, Grace, upon seeing this loveliness, said something to the effect of "It looks like the beacons are lit," thus confusing her co-workers and forever proving her nerd-dom.

It's the kind of nerd-dom I can appreciate, though, and so I decided finally fulfill her request of me: that I finally light the beacons.
