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! |
|

Well, some good news at last.
David's wife met with the neurosurgeon today. He told her the infomation she was given on Friday was not correct. He does not anticipate any of those initial problems he listed.
He said David may never ride a bike again and may be different than the David we've known. But the news is much more encouraging.

Hey... in the I-didn't-know-that dept:
I stumbled across the Tumwater High web page, and ended up browsing around a bit. Discovered something I didn't know. Remember Mr. Baar, the biology teacher? He died in 1998. Didn't know that. They've named the library after him.
Huh. Just damn. I recall when his daughter was born, our class was just full of recommendations for her name: Candy, of course. Sandy. But my favorite: Crow.

I didn't know he had died. I remember the naming of his daughter too... and remember him fondly. He was one of the really great teachers.

Heh... OK you piqued my interest, so I went and looked briefly at the staff to see who's there now.
What caught my interest are not so much any teachers who are still there, they'd be really old now :~) but rather students we know who are now staff and teachers there. Lots of familiar family names, Beattie, Hicks, Knudtsen, Otten. I think that's a sign that a town, much as it's grown, is still a small town.

Heh. I noticed that too. Hollingsworth. But the buildings have sure changed. It would be interesting to go back and walk around some time. Probably little left that I'd remember, but it would be interesting to see.

Lisa and I walked around when the remodel was under construction. We'd find some things that were familiar... the brick band room, or that outside atrium area in the science wing, where Baar's and Vasereno's classrooms were... and some old banks of lockers, but so much time has passed and so much has changed we felt pretty lost.

So—people a thousand years from now—this is the way we were in the provinces north of New York at the beginning of the twentieth century.—This is the way we were: in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying.

Yeah, I don't know if they misstated or just had it wrong, or if things changed over the weekend. But this is much better news, and I'm certain prayer had something to do with it.

It is our town... I like that people have gone off to school and returned to teach here.
I haven't looked recently, but I think the principles and administration at the elementary and Junior High were young teachers when we were there.

Every time I see that scene I imagine....
"Look! The signal! Light it! Light!"
"Wow finally. How long have wee been waiting."
"Me? I have been here twenty years since I pissed off my commanding officer."
"...."
"Hey you know what? We forgot marshmallows."
"Hah! You think that is bad? Now we gotta go down and haul another pile of wood up this mountain."
Ok I am lying, All I really think of for that scene is that last sentence: 'Now we gotta go down and haul another pile of wood up this mountain'.

And now, in the "some people shouldn't have children department..." I didn't talk to Jr. after he came in last night, but wife just told me this story.
On the "Lazy Rider" river (where you ride on an inner tube around a course), there's a walkway bridge that goes over it to access other attractions.
Yesterday a mother ~threw her child~ off the bridge trying to land him in the water. She missed and he landed on the concrete.
Jr. said it was the nearest they'd had to having someone unconscious. The mom left with the kid, but park security caught up with her before she got out of the park.
I hope her butt is in jail.

'zactly. Even if she got him in the water, it's at least an 8 ft. drop into 2 1/2 feet of water.
