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! |

I'm luckier than you, I don't get hobbit footses dreams. However, once in a blue moon an elf-maiden (or something similar) kindly condescends to burst in on my nocturnal visions. Which beats the heck out of footses, but on the other hand it's never a succubus, always some chaste elf-maiden. Sheesh.

*snif* *snif*...what's that smell?
oh HEY, Welcome back Stinky.
We're hangin' on here. Work sux as usual.
But Jr. is doin' some better. We just have tuh stay on top of things.
Goin' to NC tomorrow for wife's uncle's funeral. Wife, Nana and Luke are going down today. Made an "offer" to not go this mornin'. Jr. has a rehearsal he cain't miss (their production is next week). Wife was to be workin' on a solution to get him there all this week. It ain't figgered out yet.
So this mornin' I says, "Do I need to stay home and take him?"
I'm thinkin' I won't have to.

Have you thought about getting a software proxy server? Rose and I used to use one to share our old dial-up connection, worked OK. There are some free or shareware ones out there, just do a Google search.

... some fatty tissue hangin' out the split, nuthin' too bad...Oh, lovely. Right while I'm eating lunch, too!
That's about what happened when I slammed my finger in a door when I was little...'ceptin' I removed the very tip of my finger. The nail came back crooked, but I was OK otherwise. Mom took it harder than I did, though maybe I was just in shock. I can remember standing in the kitchen with my finger dripping, watching it make splotches on the light colored linoleum. Ouch.

What's it mean when I dream I'm being chased by Valkyries?
And why do the tags say "Do not remove under penalty of law"?
