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!

Resumes are a royal PITA!

Thank heavens for your lovely wife, who saved my life when I needed an impressive-looking resume! :-D

Howdy! Howdy! Everybody!

I moved the - ahem - "crops" this afternoon: arugula, spinach, and some turnips. Heh....it's more than I had last year. That's everything from the apartment except for the cleaning implements. Saturday is cleanup day.

WooHoo! Tomorrow's Friday, Pay Day, and the department Christmas luncheon. Free food!

Hi OT!

We just got in from Matthew's Latin class.

I never did get my fall garden even planted. :-(

What's the weather like up there? It was really nice today, only slightly too cool for short sleeves...

It was partly cloudy and highs in the lower 50's. It's supposed to be breezy and 30-ish tomorrow and back up into the 40's or 50's (depending on which newscast you watch) for the weekend.

Hey there!

Just catching up on the news side while I can. Becky's got a cold and is asleep in the bed behind me. Alyson's in her crib watching Barney.

I've managed to capture a few minutes for myself and I'm loving it! :-D

I've tried bribing my mom into watching the kids on Saturday night so I can go back to Black Point to watch the band again, but that's got a snowball's chance in hell of happening. *sigh*

I'm taking what I can get!

Roger that... :-) sounds like a little bit of fun is in order...

I'm sitting here with my friend from Boeing, commiserating about Sarbanes Oxley. :-(

Enjoy!

I'm off to take a shower and go to bed early (hopefully).

See you tomorrow!

Evening Sam - "bodkin head, grey goose wing fletch, a cloth-yard shaft" Sounds like your in business Sam.

Now, you shooting wood, fiberglass, aluminum or carbon shafts? What's the spine? Three fletch?

Evening G'nad - "drag some timber" you just moving it around or hauling it in for firewood? Since we didn't hear 'bout you on the news, guess the 'edukatin' went okay.

Evening Ramius- sorry to hear about the Coast Guard's loss. Search and Rescue - brave ones they are.
