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!

Words fail me. Bizarre? Voyeuristic? Pathetic? A symptom of the internet detatchment culture?

I've seen the commercials on TV and they positively make my skin crawl.

Among the factoids I collected today, one of them was that Iran is at +3.5 hours from GMT.

Yeesh. Not +3 or +4, but they gotta have that half-hour so that "on the hour" is now out of sync with most of the rest of the world. Figures. Fits.

Why stop at a mere 30 minutes? Why not go all out and make it more like 17 minutes, 22.5 seconds? I mean... if yer gonna be differn't...

Hey...you know what I was thinking? I was thinking it would be pretty neat if one of our Hobbit Hole knives showed up on the Antiques Roadshow a hundred years from now...

"This is a rare and valuable piece of American History...these knives were distributed by ordinary citizens who were Tolkien admirers and great patriots. Although I know you'd never sell this meaningful part of your family's history, this knife, were it to come to auction, would likely sell for a quarter of a million dollars."

Heh heh heh!

Hey folks,

Finally got Luke off the computer then we had to run some errands. Turns out the Nana episode was (yet again) a bit of a false alarm.

Don't get me wrong. She was definitely in pain. But it turns out it's either arthritis or gout. Doctor at the E.R. gave her a couple of shots (demoral and something else) and a stronger prescription. She slept most of the afternoon and is up and doing much better.

So, there's that.

Demerol and Phenergan, ya think? Many times they're given together. The phenergan prevents the stomach upset that can sometimes come with Demerol and also actually accentuates the action of the Demerol as well.

Well, false alarms are troublesome, but less so than the real kind.

So there's that.

Yes, but trust me, I have first hand experience of what it will be like.

Huh...

What's her first name? Trying to think which of the nieces would be about that age, though of course I don't know 'em all. Not Katie, is it? Though I suppose she'd be Kate or Katherine these days...
