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!

Was this bow or rifle?

Say... did you see that thread about someplace trying to open up a season for hunting with Atl-atl? Had to smile at that.

Well, yeah, I realize it's not good to be out of work duing the holidays, I'm just being realistic. Come to think of it, the last time I interviewed for a job was in the beginning of December and they said "Eh, let's just start after New Year's."

Maybe someone will need a temp to fill in for someone taking a long Christmas vacation.

Oh well. Just remember that even when you get caught up in arguments elsewhere, we still care about your heating oil leaks and would be very miffed if you went off elsewhere.

I suppose I could deal with it if I knew I was going to START after the holidays. It's the just plain being out of work with no prospects that scares me.

Looking at the job boards, they're almost bare compared to even a month ago when I was last looking. It's disturbing.

The job at the college...I interviewed for that about a week before Christmas. Found out I got it between Christmas and New Year's.

That was kind of stressful. Better than the alternative, though.

I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, I guess. Time to confront the bossy princess.

It was in Pennsylvania, apparently it's legal now in Alabama along with spears. Not legal in MO yet, not sure about FL.

I'll try to remember to look too, next time we're there. We let it sit here for awhile, before we finally gave up on our old player, so I'm not positive it wasn't here and we've misplaced it.
