The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

Posted on 01/31/2004 9:52:08 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

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.

WE WON THE SAG!!!!!

I've been dying to say that ever since I got a chance to watch the awards show last night. I still can't quite believe it, because this is finally more of an acknowledgement that there is far more than just fancy special effects to these movies.

Now that I have that off my chest...

I was embarrassed for Sean, but grateful to JRD, and I loved Billy Boyd talking about what he was doing before LOTR and now being in the same room with Clint Eastwood, etc. I bet the rest of the cast are kinda kicking themselves for not being there (except for Viggo, of course)...

And from the library I got a big Wodehouse book and the one Rex Stout book they had that I hadn't read.

You like Nero Wolfe, too? :) My Mom had a bunch of those when I was growing up, but sold most of them off; I inherited the ones that are left, which are And Four to Go and Gambit. I liked the recent TV adaptation, too--was sorry to see it go off the air.

I actually never knew there was a wheelbarrow with a disc brake before. That is a new one on me. And yes, it is very cool... but I dunno about the coolest thing I ever saw. I mean, it has no motor. Needs a V-Twin at the very least! (I guess a small block V-8 would be overkill on a wheelbarrow huh?)

I have a working theory that time is not a constant. It really does speed up and slow down.

Reminds me of something Steven Wright once said: "One time I put instant coffee in my microwave and I almost went back in time."

I'm pretty jazzed... just bought one of these today:

I coulda used that last summer--had to wheel a few cords of firewood down a big hill a barrel at a time. Might be worth looking into for next summer. How much do those run?

Once I accidentally stuck my car key in the door to my house... and... it started... so I figured "what the hell..." and I took it around the block a couple of times...

I didn't occur to you that you might want to haul something *up* the hill one of these days? It never hurts to be prepared you know. And wouldn't that be cool? :-)

Tell me something.... are you taking any time off work after the wedding or are you gonna go right back to work? IOW - are you gonna be mooting with those of us who stay a few extra days?

My friend and I once drove all the way across the country.

We traded driving every half mile. It took two months.

We only had one cassette tape to listen to the whole way. I can't remember what it was.

Then a cop pulled me over for speeding. He said, "Do you know you were going over 60 mph?" I told him to get the h*** off my lawn.
