The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night

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! |

And my folks voted December so I'm almost happy with the date we actually got.
Being limited to a land-line would just be intolerable. Shudder.

Yeah, I know you're right and all.
But this whole "patience" thing is a real drag. :-P

Oh that sounds fun! What's the deal with it? I don't know a whole lot about it. It was just the fifth one on the subscriber list. We get a couple each year that we don't know much about. Fortunately this year we could opt out of "Annie."
I think it's mostly a revue of his music.

ecurbh called me a little bit ago... said he remembered fondly all the anticipatory angst... but not so much that he wanted to move back to Minnesota so we could do it again...
I guess that's a good sign :~D

Heh. Goes to show ya.
There's much to be said about "comfortable silences" together - which really can't be done over the phone. That's strictly an "in-person" phenomenon.
Hello? Hello, are you there?

A little over a month? Heck, that is nothing! Bah!!
To: RMDupree
They work over the phone. As long as one of the people is not killing orcs or something. They sure as heck work over video chat :-D

You think?
Heh heh! I'm going on 7 minutes now...not bad!
Steve's got to get his paper submitted to the Graduate College by Friday.
~just disconnected...gotta try to reconnect~
Without going in to any detail, I will just tell you I'm extremely anxious and frustrated about it. I'm so anxious over it that I finally took a Benadryl and a hot soak in the middle of the day.

Heh heh!
You know, I'm not even worrying about the tax refund right now...it'll come eventually. I'm doing better now, but I was so upset over the paper situation an hour ago I could hear the blood pounding in my ears!
