The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

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!

She looks like you! Don't worry about the size... we can size it down.... can you make it again on white background so it's easy to put in the group pic?

The cardinals choose the next pope - they each get one vote, and the new pope has to get at least two-thirds of the votes. Basically they just keep voting until that happens, I believe.

Heh...I tried to find an explanation that wasn't long winded, but most gave a long history. This one seems pretty basic: From Ask Yahoo...

New Hampshire doesn't have sales tax, so I figured I'd just do it all at once - but you're right, it's easy to buy minutes on-line. Not a big deal!

Heh...I really liked this, by the way. Especially Gandalf and Boromir. Very clever...

Good news/bad news time: the apartment rent is going to be lower than the last thing I told you (number ending in "25"), because there's a carpet stain in the dining room. We can live with that, no?

I'm going over there now to look.

I just got to wondering if everyone already kindof knows who it will be. Is he chosen from among the cardinals then?

Doesn't bother me any! I'm laughing a bit at them lowering the rent over such a little thing! We can easily put a rug over it if it's truly horrid.

Let me know, by the way, when you know the address for the new place and can start getting mail there. That way I can mail a few things...

Officially...I believe it can be anyone. Usually, though, it's a cardinal. And of course there are various names tossed around...but usually it's not who people expect. ;-)

It is truly horrid, but they might try to patch it, otherwise we'll just put a rug down. It's not at the most convenient place - near the kitchen - so putting furniture on top isn't a good plan.

After looking around, I'm thinking I'll take the slightly-larger bedroom. I'll put my desk and study stuff in there, and then when you get a desk we can put it in the livingroom if there's not enough room in your bedroom. It's just my "study space" keep sprawling out - right now a good third of my living room is covered in books, notes, half-sketched systems, and such. Maybe I'll put the big bookcase in the livingroom with my fiction and space for movies and such, and the smaller shelf, with school books, in my room.

Oh, the address is exactly the same as my current one, except with a "1" instead of a "7" in the appropriate spot. Don't ship anything until I've moved in - you could ship stuff the 18th or so - it'll be much easier for me that way.
