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

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

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!

Ha! You got the other copy?

Yep. One came Monday. One came Tuesday.

I figure it would just cause too many issues to try to send one back.

That's probably what we'll do. Not the party, but get it from Barnes & Noble.

Was a lot easier when wife worked at Wal-Mart. She'd just pick one up at 4 a.m. on her way home.

Hmmm...

Corin, have I ever told you what a nice guy you are?

Heh...

Golly, girl! You have to give me some warning! It's awkward having to explain to the office mates why I just fell out of my chair...

Ha! Not a bad idea! I would have had to have thought of it last night, though...I needed this morning.

The jedis jumped on them and I kneeded them like dough all over...if there was a spider in there, it's paste now. Hopefully.

Hi Corin, I'm in VA on dialup. Don't know if I'll get a chance to come over to the City or no, but will at least call you. Kids are here, so I'm happy. Getting all the various weaponry organized. Kind of warm today, so I may go for a jog, then get out my sketchbook.

Hello everyone, I see we changed homes again, while Jeanne and I were driving.

Some vodka is in the freezer for Christmas Eve.

Got my grades. Somehow got a B in a class I was sure I was making an A in - but I'm safely above the 3.0 cutoff for funding, so I'm good. Thanks for all your prayers.

Thanks LF!

I am upset about the B, because I worked really hard in that class and had no real say in my grade. It was mostly based on an assignment that wasn't possible to finish, and my partners didn't manage to do half as much as I did, and... well, it was just a real mess.
