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!

got deer all over the place when we got home... Think I'll try and get one more doe in thefreezer...

Lucky you. Around here, we can't hunt them, only hit them with our cars.

Been wayyyy too long since I watched The Movies. Sounds like a good New Year’s activity. ;-)

Just got back from Cambridge. GAK I hate that place! I picked Clare up at the airport, and we rolled into Cambridge at about 7:15. I was thrilled because we were so early, since the concert started at 8. Then we started looking for a place to park. I kid you not, we orbited Christ Church for 35 minutes! Most of the parking in Cambridge is Permit Only, and they WILL tow you! All the one or two hour parking spots were already taken, and the others were filled with snow. We finally found someone on the side of the road who would give us directions to any Public Parking in the area. We drove through Harvard Square and found the lot and it was full. So we tried to find another place in an underground area, and it was also full. We finally went to the Charles Hotel and parked in their lot. It turned out to be only $12, so that wasn't TOO bad.

But because we had to wander Cambridge and then park 6 blocks away, we were almost a 1/2 hour late for the concert, arriving just before Intermission. Since we were already in the back, we got to the head of the line for the CDs, and I was able to replace my old one that was scratched. Fortunately, the second half of the concert included some of our favorite songs, and the crowd was even invited to sing along on "What Child is This?". When the concert was over, Clare and I went up got the autograph of the new director of the group. Then we got to walk the 6 blocks back to the car. We were just thankful it wasn't any colder!

I is tired.

I bet! Glad you caught some of the concert. Aren't you glad you don't live in that area?

Morning - great picture of you and the family. Quite a view from the top of the arch, isn’t it?

You know I think color is a bit bright but it’ll probably be fine when they finish painting the wall. It actually looks pretty close to color our nephew’s wife chose to paint their dining room.

Good Morning ALL:

Well, looks like we dodged the snow express here; the four to eight inches turned out to be about quarter to half inch. We were actually hoping for a bit more so gypsy could get some traction in the yard.

2J: great work you’re doing, hope OK gets the power back on soon.

One of my “holiday” vacation plans is to watch themovies again. You’re right Rosie, it’s been too long.

Almost four years since Entmoot. Unbelievable.

Morning - heh, how’s it feel to have ‘The Performances’ over and done with?

Got a couple three things to do today, timing of which is subject to change upon our whims.

We had two ‘hostage lunches’ at work last week and got two next week.

Grumbling at the office about not having Christmas Eve off...
“I suppose you want the whole day off, eh, Bob Crachit?”
