The Hobbit Hole VIII - Still round the corner we may meet...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

It's such a gorgeous evening here, I felt like spamming. Have been locked in a cubicle all day, and now I'm at the office, but here I get to see the sun...

Besides, I felt the need to live up to your appraisal of me from last night.

I have never been able to convince Smeagol to behave on a leash. She loves her little game of running circles around me and wrapping me in the leash!

If I'd had sense enough to think ahead I probably never would have let Myranda take her. But, we had been without a dog for 5 or 6 months, my Dal had been hit by a truck in front of the house and I hadn't had the heart to look at dogs yet. Myranda wanted this one, poor thing had been mistreated all her life and they two just seemed made for one another. But, now I have her. *sigh* And I sure would prefer a big dog!

No matter how cool, classic, great, or oscar-worthy a movie is, there will always be some little glitch for sharp eyes to see. It's fun, and (to me at least) doesn't detract from the piece as a whole.

Heck, those kinds of things make the movies fun to watch again, and again!

What time is Dr. Rice to be on tomorrow? I'll need to set up the machinery for that as well as the Cavuto/Kerry debate (repeated at 5:00 am)

Thanx!

Just the job type work. Things actually progressed today. Moved the ball. I'm excited because this doesn't always happen every day.

Are you sure you [sipping] and not [slipping]? hehe?

So, question still stands, what kind of work are you progressing on? All those upgrades? New implementations? Anything interesting? Even if I only have a slight clue what you're talking about, Rose would love to hear! :-)

Apparently that was just a local gravitational disturbance. It happens. I've gotten used to them. Really creeps other people out, I've noticed.

re: work. Nothing really interesting to anybody else. I'm particularly happy with a certain farkin' telephone company that has *finally* showed up in Phx and is digging their little holes and starting to run some fiber for my DS-3 there. In order to get from the street to my new computer room in our building they have to run 3,000 feet of fiber. Poor ba$tards. Been waiting three months for this.

but... I'm finally getting my DS-3 and I'm really *really* happy about that.

Evening....

Glad you are in a good mood. ecurbh and I have got the blues today. We were thinkin' maybe we should both just go get drunk, but that would just wreck tomorrow ;~D

Heard regarding the job in Ramtha town that they have put off further interviews and decisions because too many people are travelling. Perhaps a week or two wait.
