Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A sudden tree or standing stone
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! |

Colorado Springs = Air Force = Military = Forts, I would guess.

Oh, I thought they went farther south. We'll be getting them any day now.
I remember them from 87 too! I'm not *that* young. Of course, I thought they were great fun at the time...

We gotta do something about this "time zone" thing. You could start a new company, give us all jobs paying six figures and move us to a tropical climate.
...just a thought...

I don't need a whole keg.
Is it low-carb beer? :)
To: Ramius
I'm sorry to hear about Dona's dogs ... please pass along our condolences.
It's so hard when they get sick ... you can't understand them, and sitting there helplessly wrings your heart. It sounds like Dona's got a soft heart ... it must wring even harder.
To: Ramius; HairOfTheDog
Oh man, sorry about the dogs.
As much as I gripe about Sam, I'd really miss him if something happened to him.

Well, she ~didn't~ put Zak down... Just had a long conversation with Dona. The vet looked at him and determined he injured his back somehow, perhaps under the stress of being alone he tried to jump the fence and he's just so old. They injected some anti-inflamatories into his back and he's home.... and getting around OK.

Not yet. Moving in August. For grad skool, cuz I haven't learned my lesson yet.
It'll be, I guess, less than an hour from Boulder. Nice country. I'm excited.

I think it might have been better if she had put them both down together... Zak is really arthritic and thin, just like Zeke was, and I think Dona is just so tired of the ongoing stress of vetting first the cat, then Zeke, and now Zak. Zak will never be well. If I had been there, I'd have advised to put him down and get it over with. They both had good long lives.

I don't need a whole keg. Is it low-carb beer? :) a.) I know. just thinking out loud. b.) Why would low-carb beer be a good thing? If it is anything like lowfat ice cream then somebody is clearly missing the point... :-)

You forget about the shoes of power.Three Lugs for the court-kings under the hoop
Seven pairs of Converse on the streets of stone
Nine for the K-Swiss doomed to scuff
One for Air Jordan on his ad throne
In the land of Nike where the contracts lie

Are you going to get the preacher to give the "Mawwaige" speech from The Princess Bride?
Good night!

Oh, man. In the larger scheme of things I do wonder if this is a good thing. I would agree that it would probably be better for them to go together.
Dona gets in fits trying to get Zak to eat, and when he won't it twists her up in knots and she think it is her fault for (of all things) not trying hard enough to find out what he will finally eat. That he just won't eat *anything* is lost.

She's hip enough to do the "Mawwaige" bit if it's important!
