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!

mmmmm....beacon....

Can I go home now? My brain shut down about an hour ago...

[HairOfTheDog]

Sure...

[ecurbh]

Well, while we're rafting the canyon, you can rent a houseboat on Lake Powell.

[Corin Stormhands]

You know, split 12 ways, those rates ain't bad.

[2Jedismom]

Now we're talking.

[Ramius]

Now, c'mon... there's almost no sharks in the colorado river... Nothing to worry very much about...

:-)

[Overtaxed]

What about barracuda, hmmmmm?

[RMDupree]

Oh yeah. I just found this picture taken by a Colorado tourist last year!

[g'nad]

Oh I get it, "If the fat dwarf can do it, I can do it."

purty much...

[Ramius]

It's the rattlesnakes that're more of a problem. Good to stay on the water. :-)

[Ramius]

Ah, yes... the rare freshwater Canyon Shark. :-P

[JenB]

Right. The famed Colorado Mountain Shark strikes again.

[Corin Stormhands]

Dennis is coming to your house next week.

[ecurbh]

Don't forget the pirhana!

[Corin Stormhands]

[g'nad]

that's about the only way I'm gonna see the bottom of the canyon

oh I can think of another way...

yuh know, when mrsnad and I went, we did a one day float trip from Glen Canyon Dam to Lee's Ferry... we were originally goin' tuh do the whitewater thing... but mrsnad came up preggers...

[g'nad]

who?...

[Corin Stormhands]

I'd be willing to do a lesser trip and then just hang out on the canyon rim or somethin'...

Or drive down to Sedona to visit the hippies.
