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!

Hi Bear!

[Corin Stormhands]

Okay, this time I'm really gone.

[ExGeeEye]

That was such a funny story...

Hope the Avenger has recovered.

[g'nad]

okay... you asked fer this a while back...

I saw an interview of some British soldiers and Marines about their experiences in the Falklands...

I was struck by one young Marine's comments about a night attack... he had a thick Lancashire accent...

"I slipped over the crest of the hill, a peeked around the rocks where I saw three Argies... I popped 'round the corner and gave 'em a taste, then ducked back... when I stepped out, the one left let go a burst across me legs... he died then, because I was a bit upset..."

classic Brit understatement...

[Ramius]

Love them Brits. I really do wish that we had the command of the language that they seem to teach so well in the U.K.

[RMDupree]

Baby's up. Kids are being a bit bratty tonight, so I'm gonna sign off and beat some rear end into submission. :-D

See you all later or tomorrow, depending.

Nighty night.
