The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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!

We always had to do the ID check coming onto base due to being overseas...luckily I lived on base, so I didn't have to deal with that on a daily basis. But we also had ID checks coming into each building (even the library or bowling alley) whenever the security level was elevated...that was a pain.

Mornin'!!

I have about 30 payrolls to run today, so I won't be here all day. :-(

2J - I have ~no~ idea what Corin is talking about. ~snicker~ Oh yeah, except maybe the online games I introduced him and Fedora to lately..... *wicked grin*

Alas, no Insaniquarium for me today....no Dynomite either. *sigh*

Let me get a few payrolls out of the way and I'll try to hop back in here!

Gasp! Those games only lead to debauchery!

Always good to see you, Ruthy...if only for a minute. I'll expect you when I see you!

My little brother has lost close to 50lbs...he started SB over Easter.

And I started two weeks after.

*sigh*

Men have it so much easier when it comes to fast loss. But in the end, I won't care.

Morning! I've got over an hour before I have to leave for work. There's something to be said for part-time work... ah, the luxury...

Of course, once school starts I'll be busy again.

Meanwhile...I could use part time work in addition to work. But then, mostly I think we all need to have a heart-to-heart about the band(s) situation...i.e. if Bilbo is really gonna start his own band, he's out of the current one, and therefore we'll seek out our own gigs (preferably two or so a month) and form it into what we want it to be. That could take care of things.

So...in the petty stupid prayer request column...could I ask for prayers that we can discuss this at music night tonight, and hopefully make some decisions for the future?

Our "Shallow Prayer Requests" list has had a pretty good success rate so far! Let us know how it comes out.

Sigh... it's so nice to work with geeks my age. We're all on the same page, so it makes getting along easy.

Sounds like a nice job! Great that you have some common interests...that makes life a lot more fun.

Re: the band...I think mostly we just need to realize that Bilbo (and Stephen, too, really) will NOT be permanent band members, and depending on their being there isn't good. Even worse is expecting Bilbo to be the leader, though he says he wants to be the spokesperson. He has other priorities, and therefore while it's nice when he does play with us, he probably should be seen as kind of a guest star.

Not that you should care...but putting this in writing helps me sort my OWN thoughts out...

I hope you're able to convince everyone else! That is the trick, right?

Yeah, I think I'm going to like this job. The one guy's in what I expect to be my hardest class, too, so maybe we'll be able to compare notes and such.

Yep...hopefully calmly and honestly and without ruffling any feathers. Which is easier said than done.

Of course... a trick I haven't quite mastered.

I'm going to try to burn you some cookies this afternoon. I believe I need to send you 20, and 40 through 44. Does that sound right to you? And have you watched any more yourself?

Watched 29 and 30 last night.

It's getting even more weird...and yet some things are starting to make sense.

Yes, let me just say 44 is a "oh, I see - no, I don't - oh, dear" sort of episode. I just hope Roy isn't going to die, he's making himself conspicuous.

I finished 42 last night and my jaw hit the floor. I was not expecting THAT at ALL!

FWIW, I couldn't get 44 to download. I'll look for it and try again tonight.
