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!

How old was the kid?

[Corin Stormhands]

I dunno.

[Corin Stormhands]

(forgetting who else follows Lost for pingage...)

So, I was just looking something else up and I found out that Tom Brennan the doctor friend of Kate who dies when she's running from the hospital was played by Mackenzie Astin, who is Sean's brother and played the kid on "Facts of Life."

Just hmmmm...I would never have recognized him.

[TalonDJ]

Oh my. Anytime I wonder if I will be a decent parent I hear something like that and think, "Hah! How hard can it be to be less stupid than that?"

[Corin Stormhands]

Ernesto appears to be fickle...

[Overtaxed]

Oh great. Right over TheHouse.

[Corin Stormhands]

I'm still thinkin' I can use the rain.

[Overtaxed]

Heh. At least it'll be daylight....they should be able to see the trees before they fall...

[SuziQ]

What the heck was she trying to do, drown the kid? Or was she trying to throw the kid to someone who was already in the water on the Lazy River ride? Goobers, I tell you!

[SuziQ]

Thank goodness the wedding is NEXT weekend and not this one!

[RosieCotton]

Yep. I've seen him in a few shows here and there, other than LOST, I mean. I never saw "Facts of Life", though.

Knowing he's Sean's brother (half-brother?), I can see the similarities, but it's not as obvious as some brothers are.

[RosieCotton]

Man...that's much more positive news. Here's hoping it only gets better...

[JenB]

Oh, yeah, we can beat that easily.

Er... well... unless we count the whole throwing the kids into The Pit bit...

[JenB]

No kidding! Pray for good weather!

[Corin Stormhands]

fives

[2Jedismom]

Excellent!

[HairOfTheDog]

My sleep patterns are all screwed up. I was up till 3 last night, a result of that evening espresso I had... slept in till 9. Still tired.

~snores~

[Overtaxed]

Do they make espresso decaf?

Is there a point to making espresso decaf?

[HairOfTheDog]

They make it, but what would be the point?

I had it in the evening because I wanted to stay awake a few more hours, it just worked too well :~)

[RosieCotton]

I confess, I have some decaf coffee beans and do make myself decaf espresso in the evenings sometimes.

Heresy, I know.

I always was a rebel...
