The Hobbit Hole XIII - Let them pass! Let them pass!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 07/13/2004 9:49:23 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Let them pass! Let them pass!
(Note to dwarves, this is only meant figuratively)

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!

Our #2 son David will be heading out Austin way in early August. He'll be attending UT Austin as a Grad Student in Computer Science!

Best wishes to you and Mr. Schloh! ;o)

Last one first: it might have been Morocco instead of Algeria.

I deliberately worded the questions to exclude air-raid-only actions; apparently not well enough :)

I'm pretty sure all the SOPAC territory taken by ground troops was retaken, having been previously captured by Japan, and not previously Japanese Homeland territory.

Guess I have more work to do...

Morning! Doing some garden work today, also organizing my 'work' room. It's still a jumble of unpacked boxes. Might hit IKEA for some bookshelves later on.

Safe travels.

Rainy days and Mondays...

g'mornin' folks. Can't stay. Gots an all day meeting in the People's Republic of Charlottesville. Oh well, at least it's raining.

I'll have to catch up tonite. Cable went out last night around 10-ish. Don't know when it came back on.

Congrats and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Schlohweiss.

Good morning!

Congratulations to Myranda! Best wishes to them both...

Well, we actually sort of made up before the gig, and it was a fun one, though some of us were kinda tired. It was for a 50th anniversary party. The only downside is that there were lots of musicians there, so we ended up ditching the idea of repeating the same set twice. ;-) They knew a lot of the tunes, so we couldn't get away with it, though it usually woulda worked since we were just background music. Heh...

But it went well. I don't know how much we made, though, since it was for family of one band member (his brother's wife's parents), and I think they just kinda said "pay us whatever you think is reasonable". We'll get our cut Tuesday.

Oh, and Ben and his fiance have set a date - April 16th. So...now I'm kinda hopin' we get lots more gigs to help pay for airfare! Also means I will be available for mooting in the Tacoma area somewhere around then, I hope.

Good morning!

Ok, how do I know it's Monday? Because it's raining, and my ear's still sore. Because my car was out of gas, and when I got to the gas station - which is almost ten minutes in the wrong direction from work - the pump didn't work. Go inside, find out that they only have premium. Thanks for putting out a sign. Grr. Put in three gallons of premium, I'll tank up another time.

Get to work. Thankfully, nobody's here yet. Trash hasn't been emptied in two weeks and it's starting to smell. Email from the boss says he won't be in, grr, because I was thinking about taking Wednesday off too but I need to give him more notice than that.

The doctor's office opens in twenty minutes. Hope I can get in fairly quickly.

Hehh....happy Monday?

On the bright side, you only have three days left at the most, no?

Yes, there's always a bright side.

Oh, I didn't mention trying to drive down the road one-handed with a hot thing held to my ear with the other hand!

On the plus side it should be quiet here for another couple hours.

Oh, yeah, and I have a dentist appointment today, that just caps things off.

No pun intended?

At least it's cooler here this week! Supposed to be in the mid seventies all week. I can deal with that juuuuust fine! :-)

It's my last Monday for a while, so I won't grumble too much. And I found fan-subs for the next two episodes of FMA, so I shouldn't whine too much.

April 16th. So...Also means I will be available for mooting in the Tacoma area somewhere around then, I hope.

Our place is open to you if you want to stay here all or part of the time you're here! - As long as you don't have pet allergies! ;~D

No pet allergies here! ;-)

In any case, I hope we can meet for pints of some sort...and maybe seafood! I wanted to get some sooooo bad when we were in Maine, but most of my brothers don't like seafood and I didn't want to go alone.
