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!

Confuse? I was wearing a white Adidas running shoe and a black leather Rockport.

[JenB]

Ok. Time to up your caffeine intake.

Those shouldn't even feel the same! Did you go change or are you just getting weirder than usual stares today?

[TalonDJ]

Nah, I chickened out and went back to change. I sense it will be a long day :P

[JenB]

Ah, wimp.

And are Mondays ever not long days? Sigh... I miss my sister... most of the sibs, really. Think I'll be spending any spare time I have this week curled up with books, trying to forget that whole "start of semester" and "five long months until Christmas" thing.

Piercam appears to be refreshing about once per minute...

[HairOfTheDog]

Ah - good morning! Well that cam will work just fine!

When are you going there?

[Corin Stormhands]

We leave Sunday morning.

[HairOfTheDog]

OK - good... I'll be here to shoot ya, whenever you go to the pier!

[JenB]

Tthat could be so taken the wrong way....

[RosieCotton]

Beware the pier...

[HairOfTheDog]

I said it for dramatic effect... trying to up our ratings for sweeps week.

[JenB]

We've got all the viewers we want.

[RosieCotton]

'cept if this were TV, that woulda been the end of the episode, it would have been skewed to look as if you really DID mean shoot, and then people woulda had to wait a week to find out the truth. ;-)

[Corin Stormhands]

Have you looked at the advertising budget lately?

Maybe I should make a sign to hold up with the Hobbit Hole Troop Support url...

[JenB]

I want us to be an arty little show, with a dedicated small group of fanatics, not a sitcom that you tune in because there's nothing better on.

[Corin Stormhands]

liberal

[HairOfTheDog]

Sounds like Twin Peaks...

I'd like to be the log lady.

[JenB]

Liberals don't get all the good stuff... besides, liberals want to stuff what they like down everyone else's throat.

[Corin Stormhands]

Jen could be Laura Palmer. That way she wouldn't have to worry about sweeps week...

[JenB]

Who's Laura Palmer?
