The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

90 degree weather. Sun shining right down. And we decide to bike to the movie theater. There's a word for that.

However, the Batman movie was fun.

Watched the race....cooked out on the grill...watched Nova and drove the cat nuts practicing. :) Funny how the cat comes back when I stop playing. Highs in the mid 80's. The AC didn't start coming on until about 30-40 minutes ago (set at 78.)

Sounds relatively fun.

I have to fill out a big work experience form for that next job I'm applying for. *sigh* As if resumes and cover letters and background check forms and lie detector tests weren't enough pain.

But this one could be it. I'll just keep sayin' that.

Thanks!

The nice thing about *this* job is that this form I'm filling out is what they're gonna use to pick applicants - experience is their main criteria and how they're going to weight applicants. And I have lot of helpdesk experience. I'm good at it, so I've typically been the one who's done the most of it in any computer department I've worked in. That hopefully will win me some points.

And hopefully they don't take three months to decide they don't wanna hire after all...

Guess I'd better do dishes now...

She's probably hiding!

Steve just emailed...he's on his way home. The jedis made him cards.

Had Taco Bueno for lunch...then had to go get some Alka Seltzer! LOL

Jedis have been swimming all afternoon.

Been talking to them about Puffy. She hasn't laid an egg in months and she's as mean as can be. She attacks Joshua and the other chickens. She's not a pet. And she's not a laying hen.

TheNuggets get processed in about 4 weeks. Puffy has 4 weeks to start laying again.

She was visiting the neighbor lady....or at least her house.

Did you tell Puffy>

Hmm... think the two could be related?

I've been telling her! For a long time. Since she pecked Joshua under the eye that time, remember that? Long time ago.

I don't think she takes me series.

Thing is, Roy's not laying either...but she's as gentle and sweet as can be. She's a pet and there's some value in that.

Gotta go fix supper...see ya in the morning!

No, it used to be her only redeeming quality...she laid hugh eggs. Now she doesn't. And hasn't for a long time. She went through the molt and just never started laying again.
