The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

Just a quick ping for a last-minute stocking-stuffer for the gun owner who has everything: a 3-rail Picatinny accessory mount for shotguns with full-length magazine tubes.

It comes in three different diameters, to fit almost any shotgun worthy of the name. It's a handy way to hang a laser, flashlight, and ??? on your "social shotgun". $55 at brownells.com

Heh, I get tired of "Winter Wonderland" and even Mannheim Steamroller after a while.

The closed circuit TVs at church continually run with music and announcements between services/performances. Right now the CD of choice is Kenny G.

In the men's dressing room, we turned down the volume and cranked up Dr. Demento's "Dead Puppies." It was sorta our theme song.

There's no official competition. I just personally don't tolerate being outdone. :-)

Kenny G? Ewwww.... I'd almost rather listen to every version ever done of "Silver Bells" (my personal hated Christmas song).

Evenin' folks (officially). Show's over and I'm just winding down.

Mrs. is sick. Migraine, nausea. A lot of the cast has been down with this stuff. She missed both shows today which she hated. Our director went on in her place.

In many ways, I'm glad the show is over. We get our lives back, so to speak. But this one was hard to let go. I'm not really sure what was different about this year. Maybe it was that the message was so much stronger. Maybe it was just the fellowship times and working so hard with so many people. But I'm a little sad tonite. It's a good sad, but it was hard to let go. I'm usually just so relieved it's over, so this caught me a bit offguard.

Luke's in bed. Wife's asleep on the couch. Jr. went out with some friends from the youth group, so I'm expecting him anytime.

I'm gonna check around here for a bit and then go read the paper.

Thanks all! I hope to get some better pictures of the train when we get the snow thing done on it, or at Christmas. ;~D

Yeah, I'll post some pictures. And there should be some up on the website soon.

I ordered an extra DVD from this year and one from last year. A couple of folks have said they would like to see the show. I figger we can get a Flat Frodo type mailing going...

I know Suzi said she would like to see it. So when I get it I'll get names and addresses so we can mail 'em around.

And, I had to jump off a set piece on a moving turntable everynight. I'm surprised I really didn't break a leg!

It's a bloody good thing you're a thousand miles away, or you'd be sorry.
