Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Pass them by! Pass them by!
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 am a fan of space opera. May have to find Doc Smith at the library.
Space opera's probably the genre I'll write if I ever get into it, but I like good hard SF best of all the subgenres.

Trying to think...I'm prolly most familiar with Puccini stuff.
"La Donna e Mobile", from Rigoletto by Verdi
"E lucevan le stelle" from Tosca by Puccini
"Che gelida manina" from La Boheme by Puccini
"Recondita armonia" from Tosca
"Questa o quella" from Rigoletto by Verdi
Bunches and bunches there are, though.
I'm prolly not spelling right...

Cannas in Bloom - EXCELLENT, way to go. Thanks for posting the pics. Nice looking herd of birds as well.
To: g'nad
That's a fine-looking bunch of fowl you got there! Love the proud one in the back!
I'm off. Steve will be home soon and I have some work I need to get done for tomorrows school lessons.
See you all in the morning!

The other day, Msdrby thought it'd be fun to see if Bitty Girl was ready to try the spoon.
After a few rounds.
Is there any more? That was yummy!
To: osagebowman
dang, lost the thought again. Yah. Hate it when that happens. Seems to be happening more and more frequently of late for me. Ah, well... the saving grace of dementia is that it doesn't afflict the afflicted, so much as it afflicts those around them.
Of all the things I've lost... I miss my mind the most.
To: osagebowman
You remind me of my service days...when Thursday afternoons were set aside for NCO-led training. I got some grief for periodically training on what some considered less-than military subjects (history, the Constitution and so on). One week my first pre-submitted (for approval) topic was one of those, and it was flat rejected...so I put in a reserve lesson plan on field-expedient weaponry. The first sergeant approved it, and on the day showed up (to see that there was actual training going on) just in time to see a live-fire demo of "Cocktail, Molotov, 1 EA."
In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't proceed with other plans which included a very modest amount of fertilizer and a sample of my HMMWV go-juice...

More or less. Once you've figured out the series, it doesn't matter so much - you should read "The Warrior's Apprentice" first, and then "The Vor Game", but you can then skip the intermediate books and go to "Brothers in Arms", then "Mirror Dance". Then "Memory" makes sense.
You have to read "Komarr" before "A Civil Campaign". All the other books you can pretty much read anywhere in there.
If you don't want to commit to something like that, find "Cordelia's Honor", which has an unusual romance, an excellent heroine, some really memorable lines, and is a good start to the series since it's about the hero's mother, father, and their planets. I like Cordelia a lot better than her son, honestly...
