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!

I prefer riding to walking...but I've not ridden at all lately 'cause I feel guilty leaving him. So...I guess I can at least alternate.

Walking gives more thinking time. So there's that.

[Corin Stormhands]

Well, that's a given.

[Corin Stormhands]

Jr. didn't actually see the kid, so he didn't know how old he was. But he couldn't have been that old for the parents to do that.

[Corin Stormhands]

'Nite folks.

I'm going to bed before I piss off a Marine.

[RosieCotton]

Ruh-roh...

[Corin Stormhands]

You shoulda stopped me.

g'nite

Bikers he ignores, other walkers he more or less ignores, but there's something about joggers...

Maybe joggers are moving at a speed that makes them seem like prey trying to escape something.

[JenB]

Good morning all! It's Tuesday. I find that interesting somehow.

[Corin Stormhands]

If it's Tuesday, this must be Belgium.

Wanders off to another all day meeting and leaves Jen to figure that one out for herself...

[JenB]

I recognize the allusion but have never seen the movie.

Ok, time to hit the road if I want to be at my desk by 7:30.

[Corin Stormhands]

I thought you were done with work. No?

[Overtaxed]

Miss Kitty was observed using the pet door to enter the dark garage this morning. Operation Pet Door is a success!

[LSAggie]

Just goes to show that cats do things on their own time!!

Maybe joggers are moving at a speed that makes them seem like prey trying to escape something.

Or scared sheep...

[Ramius]

Mornin' folkses... [sip]

[RosieCotton]

Mornin'.

Izzit Friday yet?

[Ramius]

Uh... maybe. Let's vote.

Well, our new washer is a success! Wouldn't you know the old one decides to die just before we move? Well, I guess it's better than two weeks after we move. The new owners would have been mightily p.o'd! It's one of the front loader models and it gets the clothes half dry before they go in the dryer! Wrings em out GOOD!

[SuziQ]

Did anyone ever figure out what the heck the parents were doing? Were they trying to throw the kid to someone already IN the Lazy River ride?

[SuziQ]

Have you seen the Hussein/South Park thread? I was wondering if they've shown him Team America yet.
