The Hobbit Hole XV - Pass them by! Pass them by!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 09/02/2004 2:18:28 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

Ah, good... You'll probably end up with 44 again, but that's because it'll be easier to copy that disk whole. Right-o!

I absolutely adore him!

Have I ever mentioned how folks laugh at my cubicle decor because I have more pics of Dubya than I do of my kids. *laughing*

I've converted a few, I'm convinced of it. Even though they take every opportunity to make fun of the President, when talk gets serious they always agree he's the man for the job.

It's a beautiful thing!

I checked it on the TPC website, that is correct, Andrew went from a tropical storm to a cat 5 hurricane in just 36 hours. Then made a beeline for South Dade County, trashing Eleuthera, the Berry Islands and Cat Cay on its way. There was nothing left of the little town of Current, on Current Island, after a 30 foot surge washed right over it.

Well, enough of that, I say this one's going north!

Good night, Ruthy!

I'm about to hit the couch myself.

And maybe I can get my honey to join me...

Hey there... I can only imagine what a morale lift that was for those troops.

I remember how lifted my boat was after G.H.W. Bush (then VP) visited the ship while in Mexico... unfortunately for me... on the cruise right before I signed onboard. But they were talking about it for months afterward. It was huge honor for the unit, and everybody was proud of it. My roomie was the bos'n mate that got to go pick him up and drive him around for a bit. He talked that up for years afterward. But then again, we all had the honor of having Ronnie as our CINC. Those were good old days.

I need to go to bed... but I'm taking no sides in a homeschool battle... and if I watch one more episode of anime this freaky love... quadrangle? may be resolved. Or not.

when talk gets serious they always agree he's the man for the job.

That's why I'm thinking Dubya is gonna get at least 55% of the vote, if not more. I believe there are LOTS of folks who may not ever admit that they'd vote for him, but when they go in that voting booth, close the curtain, and no one is looking, they may just make the decision based on who they think is better suited to protecting their families, and Dubya will come out ahead on that decision!

Yawn. G'night. Looks like "Full Moon wo Sagashite" is going to milk the bizarre semiromances until the bittersweet end... which won't be found tonight.

I got some programming done too, but anime club had a weird, "what've I been smoking" anime (Madlax) and a "no brains required" anime (Naruto) so I needed something to balance them out. And I have to finish Full Moon so I can start Eva, anyway.

By the way, it would be so easy, it's unsporting. I won't do it. Nope. Not even a little. So put that in your beeber and stune it :)
