The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

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!

I've been messing around with the guitar today. And remembering that it is wayyyy more addictive than the mandolin. I have no idea why that's so...but I can play the mandolin for awhile and then put it down. Guitar, on the other hand, can make me burn dinner, forget appointments, be late to work, stay up half the night...you get the idea. Tend to get really absorbed and lose track of time if I'm not careful.

And I started learning a coupla new pieces. I may be in trouble. Unfortunately I can't find the book I really want to learn stuff from. Dunno where it wandered off to. Has some fingerstyle arrangements of fiddle tunes in it that I wanna start on.

Well, if it helps any, Jen is still younger!

I know! I believe she's a year younger than our #2 son!

They guy stood up to the mob and the assistant got shot. Shop owner walks down the street, The End.

I'm suddenly reminded of the "locksmith" episode of TV show "Police Squad!".

"Who are you, and how did you get in here?"
"I'm a locksmith... and, I'm a locksmith."

Don't know about no soul lagging. All I know is that my tummy took a couple of days to get over the effects of the change of diet and exercise pattern. I've been mostly a slug since I got home, and I'd been walking at leat 3 or more miles every day for the previous two weeks. The day after I got home, I realized my feet and ankles looked like Hillary's! They were like balloons! I drank some lemongrass tea that is considered a diuretic, and the next day, they were back to normal. I'm hoping to get back to my walking tomorrow. Don't want to gain ANY of that weight back!

I no longer own the new support group egroup. Someone stepped forward, someone I like a lot, and said she'd take it so I transfered ownership to her and relinquished my ownership and left the group.

Now it's just me and my old CHEF egroup...I'm relieved that that task is done.

Good morning folks!

I won't bother going into the details of my horrific experiences with Becky's first day in 2nd grade. All I'll say is that I hate this place more than ever.

That said, on to happier things...

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO:
MATTHEW,
TRINI,
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER,
and my nephew DANIEL!!

To her, jet lag is 'caused' by the fact that the soul doesn't travel as quickly as the body and it takes a couple days for it to catch up with you

Good example why I find it hard to respect that 'artsy' stuff.

Thatnks, Ruthy...it's a sad situation all around.

I've been surprised however at the response of my "announcement" that the BA CHEF egroup would remain the same and that I would not be joining up with the new support group.

I think most of the ladies thought that since Celeste and I were practically joined at the hip at the meetings, I would be going with Celeste to the new support group. They apparently have figured out how I must be feeling, because I've gotten a lot of kind and encouraging emails from those staying with BA CHEF and even some voicing appreciation for what I've done in the past from some going with the new support group.

I've cried a lot, but I don't feel quite so awfully alone.

Our first "BA CHEF" meeting since the split is tomorrow.
