The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Though we pass them by today...
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! |

Gralloching has become one of my new favorite words. It's kinda hard to work it into conversations at the office... but its worth trying. :-)

Maybe not the day to wear that hat, or the "vote from the rooftops" t-shirt.

She'd likely get lost trying to get to your place. If she's at the 'Homeless Hotel', what's the likelihood she has transportation out to your place, anyway? Aren't y'all out a ways from 'town'?

The key to this place is to ask for the secret "two-for-one" special. Then you get a ton of food for just over half the price (it's not really two for the price of one, it's two meals for about 60%).
And yeah. It's massively good.

I've only been called once, and that was for a Grand Jury. It was at the beginning of the school year in 2003, and I was still homeschooling both Clare and Joseph. It would have been a major hassle to try to arrange around that, so the Judge excused me.
I can't be called for at least 3 more years, now, so by the time I can be called again, I'll be free and can do it! That was the first time I've EVER been called, and I wish I could have done it; especially a Grand Jury!

On its first firing at the next game with VMI, the eager cadets tripled the charge, which blew the hats off half the VMI keydets and shook the glass in the press-box windows of Roanoke's Victory Stadium. They never heard the VMI chant again.ROTFL!! So Hickham made a name for himself in cannons as well as rockets!
Congrats on the Sugar Bowl! My s-i-l was at the Grand Casino in Gulfport MS on the day of the Sugar Bowl a couple of years ago, and discovered a lot of people with tickets to the game were watching it instead on the big screens at the casino. Officials in New Orleans were not pleased that so many people who bought tickets didn't show for the game.

Whoa, that's just beautiful, man.

He had to adjust his thinking a mite.I guess he didn't realize he was in the 'crunchy', as in granola eating, area of VT. Are you in what's considered the Northeast Kingdom? One of my favorite artists, Will Moses, lives up there.

Well... I'm stressing my brain to remember what it means for sure. Pretty sure it translates to "come and take it" and refers to (ack) a battle between the Greeks (?) and the... uh... uh... dangit. Can I buy a vowel?

I had jury duty once. You know how it is supposed to be a jury of "your peers" for the defendant?
It was literally speaking a jury of *my* peers. There were six of us. One of them was my high school band director's wife, another guy was the son of one of my dad's best friends (had known him all my life).
Mind you this was in Fort Worth, not some small town population 300 or less.. Salute!
