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!

Three weeks into it is still fast to get the shotgun, isn't it?

[HairOfTheDog]

Goodness, I had no idea!

Get well soon PE!

[Corin Stormhands]

It's a matter of honor.

[Corin Stormhands]

Same here PE. Sorry we missed that.

Rest and take care of yerself.

[JenB]

Right. Note to self: be very careful once I start dating. Shotguns are bad wedding accessories.

[ExGeeEye]

Depends who's holding 'em :)

"I now pronounce you man and wife. Pull!"

[Overtaxed]

Surgery! Yuck!

Good luck with it and get well soon.

[Overtaxed]

The shotguns traditionally show up on the bride's side of the aisle.

[RosieCotton]

There's proper etiquette even for shotgun weddings?

[JenB]

Doesn't make 'em any less tacky.

And I wouldn't want Dad to go have to buy a shotgun, anyway.

[Overtaxed]

Well....the reason the shotguns are there is that the bride's menfolk are making sure the groom does right by her....if ya know what I mean.

[RosieCotton]

Yeah, I know. ;-)

I can just picture some fussy wedding planner tryin' to make sure the boys with the guns are in their correct place in line, that's all. ;-)

[Professional Engineer]

Aha, I see Msdrby hasn't regaled ya'll with details of Operation Gut Suck. To use the highly precise technical term, I had a gallbladder-ectomy. Spiderboy took this picture yesterday. The bruises are more yellow and cool looking today.

[Corin Stormhands]

Ouch! Get better soon man.

[Overtaxed]

I think the boys with the shootin' irons are in the front row....or made to be the ushers.

[ExGeeEye]

Surgery! Yuck!

Good luck with it and get well soon.

D'dja mean that for PE? :)

[Overtaxed]

Oops! My previous post went astray.

XGI - glad yer not having surgery

PE - ouch! ouch! ouch!

[Overtaxed]

yep....confused hobbit, I am. And I haven't even had a drink today. :)

[ExGeeEye]

Nope...my apartment is having a me-ectomy, and I'm obsessing at least as bad as the girls are about their job interviews.

PE...seriesly. And milk it for all its worth. ("I can't do that, honey...I've had my guts hoovered!")

[Overtaxed]

Well....good luck on TheNewDigsSearch. At least you don't have to pick out new shoes. :)
