Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...

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.

Oops, is it that day again...?

Does that mean there ARE more, though?

[Wneighbor]

I gotta go to a steenkin' feel-good faculty meeting now.

Criminy. I feel just fine without this crap!

[Wneighbor]

morewhat?

Gotta go now. See ya'll when I get to my desk after the STOOPID meeting.

Went for a good walk.... ecurbh made me run across a log, knowing how afraid of heights I am! It looked just like this one!

Ecurbh has much better balance on such things than any hobbit has a right to have.

I'm thinkin' he must have some elf in him.

ecurbh was humbled a bit by this artesian well...

I'm thinkin' he must have some elf in him.

I have been suspecting the same thing!

[Darksheare]

I'm hiding.
I recuse myself from THIS discussion.

That reminds me of a scene from Austin Powers: Goldmember... caught it on cable last night.

It is at the new Reliant Theater. Just next to where the Astrodome was I think.

Is FR reallllllly slow, or is it just me?

[My back yard]

Thanks, that's it. I'm probably not gonna take him. If I do it will be Saturday morning I'll drive him there. I'm supposed to be having a super bowl party on Sunday. I could still cancel that though. He really wants to go bad. And he has been such a good guy, and been through a kind of rough time lately. I don't know.

Roger Zelazny -- Yeah. One of my favorites. I once read something, about 4 yrs ago, really neat, on the internet. It was an elegy to Roger Zelazny or something. I can't remember it exactly, just that I liked it. I clipped and saved it. I'll see if I can find it.

Woudl be great if you and Rose could make it to Houston too. It's a good one, the Houston Rodeo. I've run out of the freebee tickets, but we can all get together anyway.

[Darksheare]

Somewhat.
I keep getting miraculous slowdowns for no reason.
But I've been getting that everywhere, not just FR.

Found this but it isn't it. What I remember was just a fans poetic expression that incorporated a great many of his writing subjects/titles. It was nicely done.

Roger [Zelazny] was as kind and generous as any man I have ever known. He was the best kind of company. Often quiet, but always interesting. Sometimes it seemed that he had read every book ever printed. He knew something about everything and everything about some things, but he never used his knowledge to impress or intimidate. In an age where everyone is a specialist, Roger was the last Renaissance man, fascinated by the world and all that’s in it, capable of talking about Doc Savage and Proust with equal expertise and enthusiasm.


George R. R. Martin’s elegy for Roger Zelazny, (1944?-1996).
Quoted in some book collecting Nebula prizewinners.
