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!

Heh...I like Fantastic Voyage. Donald Pleasence is sooo good at playing seemingly-gentle-but-actually-insane-and-dangerous characters.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Heh, that's eclectic!

[Lil'freeper]

We're just back from Serenity. He TiVo'd the Red Sox game and is watching it now. I haven't the heart to tell him the outcome. I'm working on my Nano Plot.

[RosieCotton]

Was this your first time seeing Serenity? I'm confoosed as to who's seen it already.

[RosieCotton]

I still don't have a Nano plot...

[Lil'freeper]

Second time. His first. He was good and waited. I got a guilt trip from my Mom who visited me in NM and had to take her. ;) I'm not complaining!

[RosieCotton]

I wanna go again now that we've seen Firefly. Would even if we hadn't...just to see the movie knowing a bit more of the characters.

I told my siblings they should see it...they hadn't heard of it. I dunno if its even playing there.

[RosieCotton]

I try to be. ;-) Still don't have nearly as much of certain categories as I want...especially rock/pop from the sixties and seventies.

Gillian Welch now.

[RMDupree]

Just got through watching Hitchhiker's Guide. Fun movie that!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Have you checked out the Friday night FReeper Canteen? Lots of good music gets posted there...

[HairOfTheDog]

I'm back ;~\

[RMDupree]

Good news, sis! You ~don't~ have to go to Seattle tomorrow!

:-D

[HairOfTheDog]

I haven't felt this good since I stopped slamming my fingers in the door.

[RMDupree]

LOL!

That bad, huh? *shakes head*

[HairOfTheDog]

I'm better now ;~D

[RMDupree]

Heh. Me too.

A small part of me is hoping I'll wake up to a sunny sky tomorrow, so I can go riding at that new place.

It's a fool hope.

[HairOfTheDog]

Really? You've got rain? We do to.... down here, it was sunny in Seattle today, and I tonight on the way home I drove from sun into a very small dark cloud that is right over my house.

But I was still happy to be here :~D

[SuziQ]

Have you read a book called "Crypto Nomicon"? One of SirKit's colleagues sent it to him the other day.

[RMDupree]

Saturday
Some storms around, Partly Cloudy. Highs in the upper 80's


That's the forecast. I'm just not yet confident or comfortable riding with the threat of a scary clap of thunder looming.

[SuziQ]

We're supposed to have rain all weekend. That will be unhappy news to all those folks who had reservations for the White and Green Mountains for leaf peeping. Looks like it's a rainy weekend up there, as well.
