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!

Suurre....come on down!

I'll have to do some figuring on the cake, though. SIL likes the cake to be chocolate and the brother likes the cake yellow. Sister says make it half chocolate and half yellow.

I just opened the mail.

I got a "handwritten" note from W. I think it's printed, but it's his handwriting. And it's addressed to "Dear Corin" and talks about my work for his campaign in Virginia.

I didn't think I gave him ~that~ much money...

[RedBloodedAmerican]

That sounds like a great family tradition you have there.

[HairOfTheDog]

Very cool Corin.... can you scan it for us to see?

[Corin Stormhands]

lemme try...

[300winmag]

300wn, I've asked where exactly we should send the knives...am waiting to hear...can you hold off till I hear? Cards and such should still go to the hospital...

I suspect hospitals would not like seeing industrial-strength sharps coming in the mail. I'll send it to the adress you freepmailed me. The biggest task ahead is to settle my thoughts, and write a cover letter that adequately addresses our thoughts and feelings.

[HairOfTheDog]

Wow.... You're a real somebody!

[Corin Stormhands]

Well I wish someone that was hiring would think so...

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, you've only officially been somebody for 2 days. Give it time ;~D

[Corin Stormhands]

Maybe I need to work on my special purpose...

[g'nad]

OB's got a couple of pipe wrenches.

mmmmmmmmmm.... pipe wrench...

[ecurbh]

All I need is my special purpose...

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, yes, but this is a family thread ;~D

[HairOfTheDog]

[ecurbh]

Where do you think families come from?

[Corin Stormhands]

Y'all ain't figgered that out yet?

[HairOfTheDog]

If you find out, make sure we don't go near it ;~D

[g'nad]

[Corin Stormhands]

New from the Stormhands' household...

"On the Fifth Day of Christmas my true love gave to me...FIVE MORE THAN THREE!"
