The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

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'll be closer to you than I am now in December, if everything works out.

If Wilma hits anywhere south of Tampa, you'd better let me know where you'll be! I'll get a sitter for the weekend somehow and lend a hand.

Well I'm in the KC area...Nov 16th? That's Wednesday. How long before you drive to Columbia? Doesn't matter much as long as I'm in Columbia around midafternoonish.

You can sure do it!

You know how they have "yellow caps"...that's trained volunteers? Well, they will give you one of those yellow "painter's" caps. It signifies that you're an "untrained" volunteer.

An airplane would be somewhat more useful. But it seems that my G5 won't be ready yet... :-)

We'll see.

I'm trying to stay away from the Wilma thread. It's nerve wracking just waiting and waiting and waiting.

And those poor folks in Cozumel and Cancun. There's gonna be very little left there. :-(

Wow...I just looked and it *is* projected to come in south of Tampa!

Wow, sis...I was just being facetious.

I'm gonna get some sleep, folks.

Gotta start hurricane prep in the morning.

See you tomorrow!

Speaking of hurricanes... I just got a call some minutes ago from a contractor that does some work for us on our finance system... There's this project that he's been working on with one of his colleagues, and the colleague has some pieces of the project that really need done soon... he was supposed to be back yesterday...

But the colleague is in... Cancun. He's there right now, getting the crap kicked out of himself.

[sigh] Well... sure... I suppose it can wait... :-)
