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!

Glad you had an uneventful trip home.;o)

[Corin Stormhands]

Mornin'. I hate Mondays.

[Overtaxed]

Is it Tuesday yet?

[Corin Stormhands]

If it's Tuesday, this must be Belgium.

[Overtaxed]

*Shudder*

[JenB]

I hate Mondays too. And mornings. Whose idea was Monday, anyway?

Mmm, caffeine.

[HairOfTheDog]

Good morning all!

I've got to got to town here this morning.

~sip~

[RosieCotton]

Monday, Monday...can't trust that day.

[Corin Stormhands]

TOWN on a MONDAY???

[shudder]

[Corin Stormhands]

It's a better earworm than the one I woke up with...

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeah, and it's work. I actually have to talk and make sense.

[Corin Stormhands]

AAACK!

[RosieCotton]

Do I even wanna know what that one was?

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. Luckily today isn't both.

[HairOfTheDog]

Thank you for your vote of confidence ;~D

[RosieCotton]

There oughta be a law...

[Corin Stormhands]

Do I even wanna know what that one was?

It's not that bad actually. Jr's high school band is doing music from Les Mis for their halftime show. I've had ~part~ of "Master of the House" going all morning. I don't know it well enough to get thru the whole song.

And now...it's back.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I hate Mondays.

Do you just want to shoot the whole day down?

[Corin Stormhands]

Glad to do it.

Encouragement is one of my spiritual gifts.

[JenB]

Is bitter cynicism a spiritual gift? Cuz I've got that no problem this morning.

[Corin Stormhands]

I guess it sorta depends on which spirit yer talkin' about...
