The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

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!

We went July 4 one year for the big battle. The heat index was off the scale. They were carrying guys off the battlefield on stretchers... for heat illnesses. That year was unusual, but made quite an impression.

'tis also a great place for biking, if anyone is so inclined.

Rome would be the most interesting place, I imagine.

And Americans aren't as vilified in Italy as they are elsewhere.

Yes, thought it was a great movie here too, one of my favorites from last year.

The second disk had a lot of funny extras...

I'd like to do a moot of some kind some time at Gettysburg...

Oh sure. Then why don't we just travel on down to Appomattox and finish me off...

And that's all I have to say about that.

;-)

Becky loves DVDs that come with a simple game. This one didn't have one, I think.

She still pops on movies from time to time, just to play the game under the special features.

I could try Googling it, I guess... but... that would be really geeky. :P

Lemme know when you find it. ;-)

(delayed response, thought of that one whilst I was puttin' Luke to bed)

My kids are in bed, sleeping peacefully. Thank God!

It's almost eleven, so I'm gonna head to bed myself.

Good night everyone!

I thought so. My dad used to watch the "Twilight Zone." And we watched "Night Gallery" for a while. The only one of those I remember was the "Sin Eater" (that may not be the title.

I've actually seen that ep, during one of SciFi Channel's Twilight Zone marathon showings. (I've only seen the original TZ in syndication.) I just didn't remember it until I Googled it and found the description.

You know, the gay dudes were the only ones last episode who actually stopped, got out of their car, and stood around like idiots when the brothers rolled their car. I mean, the cameraman was practically dying out there and Rom and Amber drove by laughing.

After a sister spent an entire half of a school year reciting the details of the battle of Gettysburg, down to who was wounded when, I vowed to never, ever go to Gettysburg.

'Sides, it's too "close to home" for me. I want to do things in wild and crazy places. For me, anything PA is still home-turf and anything Colorado, new and adventurous.

Gettysburg is an beautiful place. Looking down on that long field from up on Little Round Top is an awesome thing.
