The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

All I'm sayin' is that you two better check in during Smoochmoot.

There is ~no way~ we will believe you were "hanging sheet rock."

I'm just sayin'...

And what about Audrey?

Myself, I'm skeptical... still not really sure she's actually guilty.

Whatever Wayne has is the reason David Palmer was kilt.

And all I'm sayin' is that if Jack has to torture a mole that he's loved, why couldn't it be Kim?

Still, you've watched the first season right? Don't forget about Nina. Jack had an affair with her and she ends up killing his wife...

And not to mention the German dude's comments about Colette. Maybe that was a foreshadowing for Jack about Audrey...

Oh - I remember... When spy girl was mourning that boyfriend had betrayed her and said "There's some things I didn't think could be faked" I was thinkin' Jack would say "Boy honey could WE have a talk over some beers!"

I just think the Audrey thing is a double fake.

But if we do, there wouldn't be any ~drama~.

I don't think that Audrey provided the information knowing it would be used as a terrorist target, but I do believe she did it on the sly.

And I don't see how Wayne is going to get away from the bad guys, injured and on foot. Run Wayne, RUN! :-/

I don't talk much about what is going on in my life here...
I have been 'finishing' the main section of my basement. This was a 'to do' project but Jen moving here has bumped it tot he top of the list. Since her stuff will be moving here before she does then I need to get it done by May. I had studs up and a lot of the wire strung before the last smoochmoot (that name has total become entrenched for any kind of visit :P). So while she was here we got a bunch of drywall and screwed most of it up. Plus wired up the majority of the outlets. I am currently working on wiring up lights. After that I get to put drywall up on the ceiling and then start the oh-so-fun tape/mud/sand process. I hate chalk dust. I am pretty well on track to have it ready by the time her stuff moves in (and WAY before SHE moves in).
Currently my house is about 1100 livable squarefeet and this should add around 250 more. The NEXT big project will be to do the laundry area, moving the washer and dryer and turning all that into livable space for about another 180sqft. These will be nice rooms all though not 'to code' since I did not bother with any of that permit or inspection nonsense (shhhhh).

Don't say that, I'm sure it looks just fine :~D

Well of course you know that you should be posting before and after pictures.

But I'm pretty sure that was Aaron's voice we heard in the dark on the previews. Wayne may die, but he's the only one with that info. It will get to Aaron and Martha.

Jack can't spend too much time focusing on Audrey. There still has to be time for Kim to get kidnapped and rescued.

I was wishin' Wayne would get on the phone. "Wayne, your info is about to die, call ~somebody~"

I don't know if I should be mad or flattered that they don't think we were busy the whole time hanging sheetrock and being mostly good. I mean, having part of the goody-two-shoes reputation go away is almost nice...
