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!

This is like waiting at the DMV's office.

I'm exhausted, but I can't go to sleep without writing ~something~.

Well, I'm back, with very expensive little inserts for my shoes.

They'll be worth every penny if the pain goes away!

OK, so it's time to start writing.

Where should I be typing it in the website?

What'd you get for your shoes? Did you go to that Neovita place or something?

Yah. I've heard the commercials. Seemed like maybe it would work. Hopefully will be worthwhile.

For the amount they cost, it better be worthwhile!

Nope, you type your masterpiece into your favorite word processor. Then, at the end of each day or so, you log into the NaNo site and report how many words you generated since the last time you logged in. Preferably, you're using Word, or some other word processor that counts words.

If you use something like WordPad or NotePad, there are, I believe, applications that will count words for you.

A note from one of the Renegades, who are working up prior to deploying to the high, dusty place, after he got his Camillus BK3. Just remember, "you" is really "us":

------------

I was gone for a little while and was able to finally see what you sent. I cannot thank you enough for the knife you sent and the support that you have given the soldiers in my unit and throughout the military as a whole! It is the support of people like you that make what we do so worth while!!

Thank you again,

SFC Craig A. H

-----------

Although now that I think of it, it's what the Sergeant does, and all the other troops, that makes our humble efforts worthwhile.

Heh... or possible in the first place. :-)

It really is good to know that we're doing something that is needful, if even small by comparison. Gotta love these guys.

They do something so big and we do something so small, yet they take time to say thanks to us. Sure, many say thanks to them, but not enough. Not enough.
