The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

Is there anyone downrange, is there anyone downrange.

The range is no longer clear.

I don't know if it has anything to do with Sam's Club or not. I tend to doubt it, as I've seen them in various places not related to Wally World or anything.

I do not like Merlot. I don't mind Pinot Noir, but somehow can't take Merlot. Way too dry for me.

Good morning! I got swept up into giving UNIX help, which, for anyone who knows the extent of my feeble UNIX skills, is hilarious.

Good mornin! I was up obscenely early this morning. Got VEY tired and gave up about 10:30 last night. Woke up at 5:09 this morning, went to the bathroom, then couldn't get back to sleep. Realized I'd had more sleep last night than the previous two nights combined. SirKit woke up about 5:30, so I got up and started the coffee.

Paul had gone over to Cambridge last night to visit friends and got in about 5:15. He had made a run to the Apple Store in the Cambridgeside Galleria when he went over last night and got Joseph his I Pod Nano. It is a seriesly cool little gadget. Joseph did NOT want to go to school this morning, but he had to. ;o)

He'll be spending all evening downloading music, I'm sure, if he has any money left after paying Paul for the Nano. He's not into much of today's popular stuff. He likes a lot of the music from games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, etc. He even likes some classical music. He absolutely HATES rap; all the kids do, thank goodness! I gots me some strange kids, but I kinda like em!

ipods are wonderful. I just added some German/Caribbean Disco (BoneyM) and some vintage Mexican waltzes to mine.

I like pretty much all red wines, with the right meal. Whites I'm much more picky. Merlot has its place, next to the shiraz and cabernet sauvignons and zinfandel.
