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!

There is some consideration given to the thought that "manna" was actually "mushrooms."

Perhaps giving explanation to the fact that it took the Israelites 40 years to get out of the desert.

What's up with this new interview?

It's a PC support job involving both regular support and possibly some basic documentation for (I *think*) getting into a new database they'll be implementing over the next six months. It's a temporary position, just for the transition period, but there's always a chance...

It's in the next town south, but that's only twenty minutes away, depending on traffic, and the pay isn't bad.

On the other hand, I think the guy who makes the decision really *wants* someone who is not only a customer service oriented kinda PC person, but also someone who's fluent with Visual Basic and I can't remember what-all-else. Now...granted, at the salary they're offering, they may not attract anyone like that, but if they do, I'm way out of the running. Also, it may mean that the interview won't be very friendly, and if that's the case, I don't want the job.

I like the smell of pumpkin pie, it's the consistency I don't like.

*sigh*

Anything to do with the Drudge headline about the Federalist Society?

I've got this recipe that's got cream cheese in it...comes out kinda like cheesecake only more pumpkin than cheese. I like it because it doesn't sog the crust up after you cut it.

Could be. I wuz werking and not paying that close attention. He mentioned he wanted to get to an article written by someone from North Carolina (ears perked up), a John Armour (that's Congressman BillyBob!) Think he said something about Madison and Federalist Papers, but I wuz cussinging out my report format at the time.

Every year the hospital where my Dad works sells pumpkin cheesecake squares as a fundraiser for something...maybe for the local foodbank? Cain't recall.

Really awesome. It's like pumpkin pie only far more intense.

For that reason, when I was fairly young, my family dubbed it "archived pumpkin pie", as we were new to computers and some of us found the concept of archiving files by compressing 'em (zipping 'em, but I don't remember anyone using that terminology then) to be really interesting.

I met the good Congressman back in the 80s when I worked in DC.

Sorry! I had a highly overdeveloped gag reflex until I was seven or eight. I still just can't bear the thought of eating certain textures - cheesecake, mousse, yogurt - really anything that can't decide if it's solid food or not. I hope I never spend an extended period in the hospital, I'd die from starvation.

He's been at FReeper functions in Raleigh. Had lunch with him (along with other FReepers) at one of our Support the Troop rallies in Raleigh.

Nope! I have nothing against it either, except for having to eat two pies ;-)
