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

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! |

and some more stock.Since moving to MA in 1988, SSQ is on company #4. Went through all 4 without leaving his desk. He got stock options with each successive one, but not ONE has paid off! We're hoping with this one, the stock will at least go up past what the options were for (it dropped right after he got them, just as the other 3 companies' stock did). We're really praying for this one so we'll have a little extra to retire with!

Isn't suet sticky? Why couldn't you just sprinkle a little cayenne right on it?

Well, I think I'd mentioned it before, but we're not going to be able to come to Shootmoot either. Clare has her SAT that weekend, and I'm heading off for the Cousin reunion the middle of the following week.
Clare and I are hoping to fly to Japan for a couple of weeks later in the summer, so that kind of cements our plans. We've decided not to even take a 'family' vacation because we want to have as much time as we can muster to work on the house. Clare and I being gone to Japan will mess that up a little bit, but Paul will be here in the evenings after work, so that will be a help.
I DO like the idea of a Grand Canyon Moot in 2008.

Understood. Some years ago I got, and haven't yet exercised, some options on company stock. But that was back when options were the hip thing to do. That was unfortunately back before Enron and Worldcom and all the Sarbanes-Oxley crap that companies have to deal with now.
This new thing I got is still a little flummoxing. It's being called "Stock units". A portion of them are vested now, but there is no transaction (that is... there is no current taxable event... yet). It just a promise to sell me a certain value in stock at some future date. Part of it I can exercise now if I want, and part of it I can only exercise after four years *if* I am still an employee.
It sounds like an "option" to me, but for some reason it isn't called that. Don't understand it, 'zactly.

Sorry you aren't making it there. :~\
If we go to the Grand Canyon, I want to do it by mule ;~D
To: SuziQ
...but given that the current price is almost 5x my strike price on those old options, I'm thinking about excersing. I can't think of a reason not to.

Mules may be safer than rafts, but I bet I'd be a lot worse for wear at the end of the trail. ~snicker~

I don't ~even~ want to know where you find these pictures... Those are actual establishments on the Outer Banks. I am not making this up.
Just be glad I couldn't find the add for the foot long hot dog at the "Crabby Shack."

Maybe weeks. :-) True! You should take some time off to decide how much time to take off to think it over.

If we go to the Grand Canyon, I want to do it by mule ;~D I was over the weight limit in 1980 when I'd just graduated from college. We just won't talk about now.
If I'm getting to the bottom of the canyon, I've got to hike it or raft it.
...or fall out of a biplane...
