The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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!

My aunt says he was present whe it got downloaded (I e-mailed it)...and said "that doesn't look like me!"

The second one was much better...and much bigger than posted here. 3 megapixel, if memory serves =o

Well, keep me posted if they change their minds...sounds like they either need to be specific and since they weren't they need to let him play.

He's learning an important lesson, though with great pain.

I'm afraid I currently find more comfort in that than Jr. or the Missus. I know, in the long run, this could be a good thing for him.

It's like Spidey said ~ sometimes you have to give up your dream to be who you are supposed to be.

Even tho we just saw that last night, I don't have a prayer that he'll make that connection.

They Live LOL!

The pics posted here are smaller and of less quality than the ones I sent my aunt...in the first one I actually replaced the original red-eyes with Eyes of Sauron :)

The second is the real pic, of course. This kid should have been the model for those cutsie-poo prints of little kids with HUGH eyes...

Well, it's a hard situation. I don't have any wisdom to offer, I wish I did! Any allies at the school or advisors who can advise? Feeling bad for him is only so helpful, and that's all I can think to do. It does seem that the rule needs to be explored and defined for sure. If not, Jr will always wonder.

Well, he's got good parents making sure he doesn't get too far off track. I was a lazy, useless kid when I was his age and I haven't done too badly yet (the trick is learning that sometimes you have to work really hard to be lazy).

Maybe I'll stop in at the campus health center.

They'll definitely be able to help. I'm sure they have plenty of cases of this at the beginning of the school year.

I think our only chance is to ask for a clarification. If they say no, they say no. Then we'll move on from there.

The wheels are already turning in my head. We could do so many things differently if we went the homeschool route. But to do that, he's got to let go of football completely, or we'd be caught by the same rule again next year.

That's a decision he'll have to come to on his own.

Yep, I remember exactly when I gave up the dream of being a movie star. I was in college and had never really been away from home before.. I started getting clues that things might not be as I imagined when I went to a drama department party and some of the partiers suggested I check out the attic. So I did. Saw an orgy. Sat down in shock right into a puddle of vinegar (don't know...don't wanna know.)

Then, right before I dropped out, I was up for a part. It was between me and another girl. The director asked me out. I told her "No" and the other girl got the part.

That was the end for me.

Well, if it turns out they DO let him play, I'd be sure to remind him of this situation if he starts letting classes slide THIS year!

YIPPEE! And THANK YOU, 300!

I didn't do nuthin' except drop them in the mail. Thank the guy who screwed up the engraving.

And they're still pretty readable.

It needs to be clarified so it isn't a grey area he ponders.... After that, you might have to punt ;~D

Yeah, doing drama at a Christian college I had a bit of a different experience. Although my senior year four guys transferred to the University of Kentucky. Yes, I'm pretty sure they all are...

But after graduation the girl I was dating was doing costuming for a summer stock company. I went up to see her and saw more than I needed to know.

I never dreamed of being a movie star tho. I had dreams of being a Disney animator.

Of course, majoring in art might have been a start...

I will, and I'll hope and pray he makes the connection.
