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!

Well, the task manager says my TV program isn't responding... but the file I'm recording is growing nonetheless.

So I'm hopeful.

[Ramius]

Dunno...

[Ramius]

program isn't responding... but the file I'm recording is growing nonetheless.

Say... I've written code like that too... :-)

[Ramius]

oops.

[ExGeeEye]

Put a bag over your head :)

[Ramius]

Heh... paper or plastic?

Yeesh. There's a lady that just sat down with some guy here and she's wearing so much perfume I think it's gonna make my eyes bleed.

[JenB]

Hmm, here's hoping it works. If it doesn't I know where you can get it...

[Rose in RoseBear]

How does the name Ethan Monroe strike you?

Dr. Ethan Monroe, DVM?

[Corin Stormhands]

We usually wind up buying one for the holidays, and then it goes bad before I can get it all eaten.

It spoils before bedtime?

[Ramius]

Clete Snorting Elk, DVM.

Half Australian, half Navajo, due to a freak weather incident that caused his parents planes to both be forced to land on Iwo Jima for a brief few hours during WWII.

:-)

I'm just trying to help.

[Corin Stormhands]

I took the above picture on the way home.

You know, didja ever stop to think that the reason you keep gettin' lost in Bremerton is 'cause yer takin' pictures whilst drivin'???

[Ramius]

I'll vouch for that, though... Bremerton roads don't make any sense. I get lost there too. Nothing ends up going where it looks like it is going.

[Corin Stormhands]

I'd be OK I ~think~ because there are handrails.

Nope. Not me. No way. No how.

I'd be dead at the thought of it. I froze in the St. Louis Arch and that was inside.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

So in retrospect, limiting myself to one piece of pie after dinner is the problem... I'll make a note.

[JenB]

"Ethan" makes me think of a crazy-eyed stalker. The Monroe part is good! I don't know why I don't like "Ethan".

[Ramius]

Handrails? Those aren't handrails... it's chicken wire and a little cable. I don't even like glass-bottomed *boats* let alone a wire-bottomed "bridge-like thing" that isn't really a bridge, some hundreds of feet off the water. Nope... no thanks.

I don't even think I'm abnormally fearful of heights. It's just that gravity always wins. As they say: It's not just a good idea. It's the law.

[SuziQ]

Clare made little mini pumpkin breads; already had one. YUM!

[SuziQ]

I'm not much for Pumpkin, but I LOVES Sweet Potato Pie with just a teeny bit of bourbon in it. ;o)

[Corin Stormhands]

I plan to fire the personal trainer somewhere around Veteran's Day and hire him back around MLK, Jr. day...
