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!

Thousand words? Don't think of it like that, count to the next hundred.

Bah. Kickboxing routine was really tricky tonight and I'm exhausted. And it's dark. Maybe I should just work on NaNo, then I don't have to change again.

I'm at rehearsal with Jr. I'm not in the nativity scene, but I got drafted to stand in for one of the kings tonight. So I haven't written much. We're getting ready to do the finale, so we'll probably get out of here early.

We were supposed to be here until 10. But it looks like we'll be out soon.

Not yet. I've just been looking online though. And what they want it not in style. I'm going to try some thrift shops this weekend.

Which king were you? The rich one or one of the ones who brought smelly oils? (I'm still wondering if those two were queens)

Actually I was the African king. Yeah, it's PC, but he's been in that role for 10-15 years...

evenin'....tired....

I've got 4 hours OT on the clock and one more day of work in the week....

If this keeps up, next payday is going to be extra nice :)

But it's muy hard while it's happenin'....

Can't imagine NaNo-ing right now, even if I thought I was any good at it....

Try it in a major key.

Likewise "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen".
