New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Fight! Fight!
It started out as a typo, by Rosie, and now we both use it on occasion to describe our male siblings. It's meant affectionately.
Interesting tidbit about Silent Running - the score was written by Peter Schickele, the musical/comedic genius behind P.D.Q. Bach. As far as I know, it was the only score he ever wrote.
Fight with big weapons! :-)
At least I got to see a little bit of excitement!
Hi there! Has your family started to arrive yet? Or is that yet to come? :-)
Well...switch to golf and clean up the kitchen, I guess.
I think I'm about to see if I can't make a little something in the kitchen to clean up later. I never did eat any lunch. Gotta find something now!
They start arriving Tuesday night - my parents, brother and his family (wife and 3 kids) and sister and her daughter. Then my other sister and her husband come in on Wed. My grandmother, and aunts and uncles arrive mostly on Thursday.
I've got to make something for lunch tomorrow....but I can do that later. :)
Hmmm.... so you're still in waiting mode! Things are gonna be goin' *really* fast after Tuesday. :-)
I'm nukin' some sorta quesidillas. Not the real yummy grilled ones but I'm too hungry to wait for that. I just wanna eat!
"It started out as a typo, by Rosie, and now we both use it on occasion to describe our male siblings. It's meant affectionately."
Heehee! It sounds as affectionate as Kaoru's relationship with Yahiko :)
BTW you've got mail.
It is affectionate! My sisters have started using it, too, and the boys answer to it. Of course they also answer to "Weasels", "You Lot", and "Stop That".
Yup! Two days left to flylady the place. Gotta make a run to the feed store today to stock up on animal supplies.

I guess that wasn't a career starter for him :) Was that the score for the Baez song or a separate score?
I suppose flyladying could keep you busy for the remaining time! Hate the thought of having to do that myself. Running to the feed store sounds much more entertaining. LOL
Yikes!
And isn't there something in the Geneva Conventions about the song?
Well, luckily he had professorship at the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople (U. of S.N.D. at H.) to fall back on. ;~D
Was that the score for the Baez song or a separate score?
It was the full music score. He also worked with Baez on a couple of her albums, but I'm not sure if that was before or after this.
Well, Kaoru and Yahiko admitted on one episode that they were like brother and sister--of course then they were fighting again within 30 seconds :)

ROFL! Do these have etymological anecdotes as well? :) My younger brothers answered to a few names like that. . .And then my Dad gave my brothers and I each several nicknames complete with accompanying theme songs. I don't think I'll post those here or I'll never hear the end of it, though :)
Feed stores are fun! There are times when we'll be driving around somewhere, and we'll drive by a feed store, and Hair will want to stop, just to look at stuff! ;~D
