The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home 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,
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!

My evening went about as well as an evening of poking at servers could go, I guess! Nothing went wrong, so there's that.

I brought Cisco with me. He was jumping at every noise and really wanted to just go home, but did OK otherwise.

Well at least he wasn't by himself, and you had some measure of security having him there. Sounds like a win-win to me!

Heh...I think if anyone had actually come at me, he woulda dropped and rolled over and left me to my fate. ;-) But it still was nice not being completely alone in an empty building.

Heh... I don't think Cisco could scare anyone either...

Even Tweek pushes him around :~)

Good morning everyone!

Maybe you should get a tougher dog, to guard both of you :~)

I need a Gidget style dog to balance out my coward. ;-)

Though...Homer'd probably be protective so long as no one shot a gun in the air or something while attacking.

So there's that.

I don't know. Maybe it's just me...but I wouldn't want to wake up with this staring at me.

He's got pit in him, but he's got an eager-to-please look in his eye :~)

LOL!

I have enough worries in my life without a dog that looks perpetually worried following me around...

Eager to please - or - eager to feed? Perferrably on small children?

He's really small and lean. I saw him in person, but don't tell Ramius. :-P

Mmm...Dell...

Speaking of slightly computery things, am I total geek for mourning slightly yesterday as my van had its last kinda binary moment?

The odometer was at 111110 when I got to work and at 111111 when I stopped for gas on the way to the interstate afterwards.

Don't have any more of those numbers to hit now. *snif*

Yeah, SirKit was bummed that his laptop was NOT one of the affected models. His battery isn't holding a good charge anymore and he was looking to get a freebie. ;o)

Y'all sure aren't very talkative these days...

In other news, my brother's wife did it to us again. Standard practice for rentals at the beach is that you have until noon the following Monday to reserve the same week for the next year.

I called her ON OUR WAY HOME from the beach and said "we'd like this week or the next one." She never returned my call.

I finally got her last night and she said "all those weeks are taken."

I'm not really believing this was just another "oops."
