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!

You are vey close to my mother's. She is in Arlington. Arlington has 6-flags, and the Rangers. There are tons of great places to eat right off the highway.

Get a doggie door... they'll run out when they hear things.

Are you going to fence for them?

Other than going to baseball games and amusement parks, there is also a hugh shopping mall off I-20 at Cooper. There are many nice place there as well. I am biased towards north Arlington, since that is where I lived for 15 years.

Grand Pairie is sort of an in-between suburb for Dallas and Arlignton. Dallas has some pricey places. They aer vey nice, but if you're on a budget, I would recommend something else.

That said... Del Frisco's (one in Dallas, and one in Fort Worth) is the best and most expensive steak joint.

I wish I had known about this trip a little further in advance. Then we could have planned a minimoot. I don't even have my final itinerary yet and I fly Mon. I *think* I'm arriving in the early afternoon and my meeting isn't until the next day.

Been singing Badlands all morning...it was on PBS last night.

Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland.
Got a head-on collision, smashin’ in my guts man.
I’m caught in a crossfire that I don’t understand.
But there’s one thing I know for sure girl:
I don’t give a damn for the same old played out scenes
I don’t give a damn for just the in-betweens.
Honey I want the heart, I want the soul, I want control right now.

You better listen to me baby:
Talk about a dream; try to make it real.
You wake up in the night with a fear so real.
You spend your life waiting for a moment that just don’t come.
Well don’t waste your time waiting

Badlands you gotta live it every day
Let the broken heart stand
As the price you’ve gotta pay
We’ll keep pushin’ till it’s understood
And these badlands start treating us good

Workin’ in the field till you get your back burned
Workin’ `neath the wheels till you get your facts learned.
Baby I got my facts learned real good right now.
You better get it straight darling:
Poor men wanna be rich, rich men wanna be kings,
And a king ain’t satisfied till he rules everything.
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got.
Now I believe in the love that you gave me.
I believe in the faith that could save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray that some day it
Will raise me above these

Badlands...

For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it ain’t no sin to be glad you’re alive.
I wanna find one face that ain’t looking through me
I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these

Badlands...

Naw, everything is done on a reimbursement basis, and only am only reimbursed up to the per diem rate.

I never starve on travel, though.

I'm listening to some Oooooooooooldies: Sinatra, Judy Garland, Louis Armstrong, Glen Miller & assorted big band tunes.

"And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world."

Always nice on a Friday.

Yeah, was gonna say, PE & PG can probably fill you in better on the D/FW area, but I see PG has already responded.

Rose and I are a couple hundred miles south of there, only been to D/FW a few times, so we don't know it very well.

I did accidently drive past the school book depository building one time...

Well, if I *ever* find myself at Ft. Sill we'll *have* to moot. It'd be criminal not to.

"And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world."

Louis Armstrong's version of that is the only real one, IMO.
