The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...That none have seen but we alone.

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!

Better living thru chemistry, that's what I say.

"Gandalf" also has the root-word "elf" in it in the original Norse epic Tolkien took the name from.

IIRC it means "Elf of the Wand" or something like that... referring to the staff he always carried. BTW I really liked how Gandalf had different names among different peoples. :)

What's E-9?? What are we gonna do? I only have a very vague idea.

I am very excited, my friend. This is probably the biggest thing that's happened to me in recent history. I think the last time I did something this bold was when I went to NYC with my high school drama class. About 25 years ago...

Yeah, but they open at 10:00 am... and I figure we'll still be operating on Central time, so we might actually be up and around early enough to be there when the doors open.

E-9 is "Engine House Number Nine". An actual old turn-of-the last century fire house (like from when they had horses) for the Tacoma FD. Now is a restaurant/tavern sort of establishment. Very cool. The stalls where the horses were are now sittin' booths. Lots of antique firefighting gear. It's something of a Tacoma landmark.

You're an hour from Gig Harbor up there.... and since it's Friday, definately head south as early as you can! We'll be hanging out a good few+ hours.
