The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

Black Hawk just flew over. They don't circle any more...or the ones that used to circle aren't the ones flying over or something...but they do fly RIGHT over the house, real slow.

Of course we waved like mad.

I suspect they got their letter today with our picture in it...a thank you letter for letting us tour the facility and also a HH knife for the commander, who wouldn't accept it in person...said he didn't deserve it and finally gave it back to me. Ha! He'll have to go to a LOT of trouble to give it back to me now.

You can see the picture on my profile page.

I just think of Eeyore whenever I see it...just imagine Eeyore's voice:

"Oh happy day...another GI sitting on my back...Oh well..."

ROFLOL!!

I think it's a flashback to my Eeyore's Birthday Party's I used to go to in my ute.

Oh. My reaction to the end of that show was something along the lines of "Where was the earth-shattering kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!"

Um... but I was really kinda in the mood for sad that day and it wasn't totally.

All right... it's time for a workout, a tidy, work on writing, then get over to the "no, you do this part, my responsibilities are these" meeting. I'm bringing anime as a bribe for "if we get done in less than three hours, we'll start this".

How on EARTH can a professor justify a quiz as long as the midterm, which takes the entire class period? He said 20-minute quiz, I studied for a 20-minute quiz, and it took us the whole period!

So what do we call you, Steve? "Hollywood" or "Joisey"?

Hi winmag.... I feel a little guilty where you are concerned. I haven't done anything to get that idea thread started, been distracted on less important things.

What shall we do? Put our ideas together and just do it?

It took some deep thought to figure out what you were referring to. I have never seen "The Sopranos" Must take place in New Jersey right?

I posted my first and I hope only ever vanity today:

Lots of replies. This place is full of patriots.

I've never seen The Sopranos either!! You see pictures of big handsome guys in pictures all the time...but how often do you see a picture of a big handsome guy sitting on burro, I ask you?

;-D

Hi LCS!

I got in another workout. Ouch. My arms hurt. And now I'm trying to write... using the same arm muscles I just abused. Call me stupid, I guess.
