The Hobbit Hole XXI - ...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/21/2005 6:44:57 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

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!

Well I tried playing the whistle at 'em and all I got was the deer-in-the-headlights look.

Okay, I think I've calmed down now. I'm at church waiting for Luke to get out of his class. We didn't have choir tonite because the youth choir is singing Sunday. Their production is Sunday night.

On the way here, bringing both boys, I called the person who coordinates our snack bar and gate guards. Jr. works for her.

This afternoon, Jr. and friends were hanging around the front desk. That's verbotten, especially by co-workers not on duty. The gate guard asked them to step back. Jr. smarted off to her. Apparently he thinks he can get away with stuff because Dad's the boss. He's so flippin' clueless sometimes.

THEN, it was reported to me and he confirmed this, he said to her "I'll just come over there and slit your throat." He said he was joking. I said I didn't care that was NEVER appropriate.

I turned the truck around and sent him in the house. He'll miss youth group and a rehearsal afterwards. We had to deliver snacks for another class, or I would've just kept Luke home as well.

He'd just best hope the bruises don't show under the stage lights.

This is all after I had a father threaten to pull his membership last night after I talked to his son (who was going around yelling "Holy $#1t!" and insulting our workers because he "has more money." The Dad told me "he's not like that."

Oh, yes he is. And one day we'll see that whole family on Jerry Springer because he's got 'em snookered.

But Jr's behavior now reflects doubly bad on me, and I just won't tolerate that.

He's basically a good kid. But not always the brightest crayon in the box.

~sigh~

Wonder where do they keep the sacramental wine...

He'll thank you for it one day. Hopefully, before you get Alzheimers.

Thanks. We'll be all right. I know he was just being stupid and mouthing off. But it still infuriates me.

That's what I'm thinking. I have to go back and doublecheck the dates. I think we're supposed to be out there (working) for 3 days.

Well, that would be very cool. We'd come up with something interesting to do... maybe take you to the ocean or something you didn't see when you were here before!
