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!

Sounds productive, going to bed tired is always a good sign of that.

Hey - my truck is full of wrappers. Are you saying some kid is doing that? Dang.

OK, I admit that some of the wrappers were mine.

But the cereal most definitely was not!

Cereal is hard to eat while driving. I don't think I've done that.

Steak? Steak? Got leftovers?

I'm doing laundry and homework at the same time. Got a little bit of sourdough bread for lunch.

I'm so lazy it ain't even funny.

Playing Tetris instead of plotting. Guess I should go cut up a chicken and fire up the grill before the game starts.

I sure enjoyed reading back over the thread.

I don't hang out in the Hole as much as I used-tuh, busy life getting in the way...but it still feels like home.

Unfortunately, it's just sitting there. But until Steve finishes this paper, he doesn't have a spare moment to deal with it.

Eventually, we'll haul it out and start working on it again...I'm ready to drive it!

I am going to Wing It With Style, for NaNo this year.

Yay, got one assignment mostly done, created the database and data entry forms that I'm going to use for my semester project, did my one errand, laundry will be done shortly... if I keep this up I can goof off tonight.

The Dolphins are being trounced by the Tampa Bay Bucs. 27-6 at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Somehow, I am not surprised. ;-)

I saw it on a zot thread and it tickled me. It surprised me how really in the mood I was for a spastic dancing cat graphic.

Go Bucs!! If I'm remembering correctly, that franchise began while we were living in FL. We were in Tallahassee from 1976-80
