The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Home is behind, the world ahead
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, Well 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! |

Well, *I'm* still not sure if she should be or not. :) I mean, we were all hoping for someone to balance you out, not to push you over the edge and reach critical mass. The world trembles at the very thought. I shall have to notify the Andonians of the eminent upheaval on this territory of theirs.
But seriously, congrats to the both of you again, I think y'all are a great match.

Mmm...longhand.
Not only is that the best way for me, personally, to memorize things, but also I get to play with pens. I love my pens...
To: SuziQ
Oh, sorry! I didn't see your request for the last 5 minutes until just now... spoiler font!
The President's meeting went ahead as planned, everyone relieved when nothing happened. Jack turned the Kid over to his Mom at the airport, told Mom and Kid to go to CTU and "tell the truth", then went into the airport to interrogate some worker there. Meanwhile, Kid, waiting in the car outside with Mom, notices a suspicious truck stopping at the airport terminal entrance and a bunch of guys get out. With his on-the-job "Jack" training, he recognizes them as bad guys and runs into the airport to warn Jack. Mom is left outside as the truck blows up in front of the airport terminal and the bad guys pull out guns and start taking hostages inside. Meddling Kid is taken hostage, guy Jack is questioning hears the explosion and pops a cyanide capsule while Jack is distracted. Jack is left inside the terminal with the terrorists, Kid is a hostage, Mom is outside complaining to the security drones. Terrorists start to make a call to the President to make demands... oh, and Walt is a CTU Season 5 Mole (TM) taking instructions on a cell phone from a Mysterious Stranger...!
End of episode! Can't wait for tomorrow night's!
OK, now I'm going to bed. ;)
One hour down, one to go...
They cheated us by 7 minutes on the first one ;~/

I was supposed to balance him out? Hmmm... but I think the world is ready for our teaming up.
Oh, yeah, and Empress, just think how much fun it'll be when we have kids ;-)

Kids aren't a problem, they are easier to mold and corrupt in the proper manner.

Re: 24
Wow. Just wow. Jack is TheMan!
Is it just me, or did they bring Kim back this year and rename her Derrick? ;~D
*Looks around*
Am I the only one at werk this morning?
[sip]
To: no one in particular
~sigh~
Get back from the gym and have plans to work here in home office all day, until I have to take Nana to the doctor this afternoon (her other daughter is ~busy~).
Wife says "Won't it be better if you just take me to school and let Jr. stay here all day?"
Send me a frickin' memo when you get to the part that's better for ~me~.
I've been home 20 minutes and I still can't get into the kitchen to make coffee. I have no idea what Nana is doing in there.
I ~believe~ this may be the day where Corin reaches his limit. < /rant >
