The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...
Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Mmmkay -
The order is:
Term Limits
Transfer of Power
The Third Option
Separation of Power
Executive Power
Memorial Day
Consent to Kill
Act of Treason
and the newest one is Protect and Defend, which isn't out in paperback yet.

Yes, because if he still has the tooth, it’s still worth money. Less troublesome than having the "is the tooth fairy real" conversation this late at night.

“No, but the Tooth Monster is and he might come if you keep that tooth under your pillow much longer.”

The library had
Howdunit, so I think tonight is going to be research rather than writing. I have no fear that I wont be able to finish by the end of the month anyhoo, so I guess it's OK to take a break.
I still have probably another month of writing ahead to finish. And then a break...and then, I may actually try to make this one "real". Edit it and all.
I'm not good at the finishing part of this bidness.

I just broke my FMC’s left pinky finger. She’s getting interrogated by a baddie. That was rough, ‘cuz I really like her. I’ll blame it on Mitch Rapp.

Woot, good for you.
I baked three pies and a double batch of roll dough... gonna be cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls both. Whew. Now I need to write. Fortunately I think I have a grip on what to do next.

Heh...that was my first thought. Second was that those faces seem much more spooky than inspiring.

Riding pants and breeches are more often worn out than sold I think. Do you know exactly what kind you need? What kind of show?

By the way, I’m set for tomorrow.
As it turns out, they *aren’t* going to the in-laws, so it should be pretty low-key.
I don’t think I’ll stay very late, and will probably head up relatively late, too...so if I can be of dog help, let me know. You guys have a longer drive, especially if you end up coming home the long way.

Bah.
My heroine is lying to her sons. She would rather have them think she and her husband lived in sin than that one of her sons isn’t really hers. (or his either. It’s complicated).

I’m trying to figure out how to accurately write an investigation / arrest / trial / etc.
I think the Hobbit Hole could use a homicide officer in addition to a doctor (a surgeon, preferably) and a lawyer.
Kin we fix that?
