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!

YAY! Friday! I only have one assignment, my class project, and my thesis research this weekend. And NaNo. And a church social. And a write-in. And maybe bowling with friends. And hopefully a phonecall or three.

Pretty slow....only at 3000-ish and boring as all get-out, but it's my high priority this weekend.

Maybe I should pick scenes at random and forget the linear timeline.

I'm doing 'zen and the art of generator maintenance' in the morning. Word is that there's a storm brewing for later in the weekend.

Hey, whatever works...

Ugh, why did I pick "survey of COTS components" as my semester project? This is utterly, utterly boring. Maybe I can take it to work and do in the down time.

Our kittens are here! They're very small, and very overwhelmed by being here. They look reasonably healthy, but I'm glad we have a checkup scheduled for them in the morning!

The white one doesn't really have pink eyes, it's the flash ;~D

They're chillin' out in the big dog crate... Gidget's all hyped up, keeps pacing around and sniffing at them, Cartman #8 hasn't noticed them yet, he's asleep on my desk.

After we eat, I wanna pull them out and cuddle with them a little more on the couch. They're very cute little things.
