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!

Thanks, Penny! That's encouraging.

One 'problem' for me is that I don't have to bike home. I can take the bus, it's even got a bike rack. So it takes a real effort of will to get on the bike instead.

And it doesn't have the one nasty vertical hill that's on the way to work, but it does have several long, slow slopes that just hurt.

The music's so good, sometimes I just let them play.

Watching the second half of TTT now... we didn't make it through the whole thing at the chat view. ecurbh is out doing forestry.

I'll be all up to speed and ready for the RoTK chat view by tomorrow ;~D

Ditto!

I'm wondering if we should break ROTK up into two days. I guess we'll see how things go tomorrow night.

It will get better bit by bit. It won't be long until you start noticing some results. Just did 14 at a smidge under 14mph average. Then I got off and ran down the block to practice the triathlon transition. To which my legs said, "Nani o 'run' desu ka? Wakarimasen!"

Hehehe... 'mercy' ja nai, then, for both of us.

I am noticing results. It just still hurts. At least the soreness is getting better.

And the word continues to spread...
I just read a Weblog on your many projects and commend you all. My Battalion is beginning preparations for our deployment to Afghanistan. I'm not sure how your operation works or what the criteria are but thought I'd check in with you. We are an Apache Battalion and will soon be flying missions in Afghanistan. Regardless whether or not that qualifies us for one of your knives I would like to say thank you for the support you have shown to the men and women of the United States Military.

Thank You.

It is very awesome, and a little intimidating that so many are finding out about these knives and requesting them!

winmag, how are we doing on funding this operation? Do we need to have any more organized fund drive for regular donations or are you getting enough coming in?

And a tag-on question...winmag, can you FReepmail me information on sending a payment, via PayPal or however you prefer?

If I do get this job - or *a* job - I'll be sending something your way in a coupla weeks...might as well have that info handy.
