The Hobbit Hole VIII - Still round the corner we may meet...

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!

I just hope you're around with a video camera the first time the kid projectile barfs and it goes down the inside of Sonya's dress.

I wouldn't miss that for the world, Corin!

Yes, we've often hiked in with the dogs and lunched by the falls.

Only needs 12 of those and he's in for a whole year! Being your own contractor has its good points (no other nasty staff people to put up with).

Heh... one of the brothers had acid reflux, too.

Luke's entire first year he had to eat every two hours. Because he was so small and weak it would take him about 30 minutes to eat. Because of the reflux he had to be held upright for thirty minutes after finishing and he had to have medicine some amount of time after that. Most of that year he slept in our arms, and we alternated sleeping in a chair.

3 out of every 5 workdays (at least) I tell a co-worker I'd rather be having a root canal.

I didn't get a chance to respond the other day...

Jen, you were talkin' 'bout self defense with fedora, and he recommended a hard core self defense class versus martial arts... couldn' agree more... yuh gotta have the animal instinct tho... when the big guy gets you in a bear hug, bite his nose off... if he grabs yer wrist, jam the thumb on the free hand as deep into an eye socket as yuh can and pop that bugger out... yuh don't need to be graceful to be dangerous... everything, and I mean everything, can be a weapon...

I can vouch that I was quite happy to go and have three fillings replaced a few weeks ago. A nice respite it was.

Awww... try this link instead! It doesn't have the nearly-naked figleaf-covered Japanese guys, but at least you'll be able to hear the song...

They let you do this in class? or is this part only taught in a theoretical sense?
