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!

Evenin'. I'm here at rehearsal waitin' fer Jr. Didn't make much sense to drive across the river twice, since we've already made three trips (2 vehicles) today. Here's what Corin has done so far today...

6:30 got up and went to the gym to swim, swam for 40 minutes

Went to Starbucks, Lowes, Home Depot and got gas

Went home, got Luke dressed and took him with me to rehearsal (he adores child care here). Jr. was already here and Mrs. met us here.

After rehearsal Jr. and I went over the state fairgrounds (also Richmond Raceway). I scored some free rocks that a sister agency used for their fair exhibit. Got about half a truck load.

Jr. and I went in search of a battery and a strap for his camera. Went to Walmart, Target. Finally found the battery at Radio Shack, but no camera strap. Will go to an actual camera shop (closed today) later.

Went to a craft store and got supplies for Luke's pinewood derby car.

Came home, unloaded rocks.

Got the tire on Jr's car and jump started it. Good news is that it started right up. I was skeered it had been sitting too long. Charge didn't hold, but we got it moved so he can keep workin' on it.

Mowed the front yard.

Snarfed down dinner and got here a bit late.

What? Tired? Who me?

Jr's team lost again last night. We played a team where three of his buddies from youth group, so it was actually cool to see them play. Twin brothers make a great combo on the field.

Heh...after one of their touchdowns, the woman sitting next to me said "Does ~HE~ go to your church too?"

Jr's getting discouraged though. Coach is playing the same 12-14 players the whole game. They play offense, defense AND special teams. He puts the 2nd string in with 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter. It would be different if that was actually a winning combo, but it's not.

Not sure there's anything to do. Talkin' to the coach would only make things worse for Jr. Wife did corner the asst. principal last night who was pretty clueless. But she's not gonna let this one go...

To: no one in particular

Corin is seriesly thinking he needs to sign off FR until after the election.

Either that or he needs to wrap his head in duct tape before it explodes.

Nope, honey. Just stay here, where we're reasonably sane.

You know me, I'm prone to wander.

I'm just all het up over this election and I'm tired of the trolls that come on here with their doom and gloom.
