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!

Evil Henchman-turned-softie is toast - literally. Villan stripped the electrons out of the electron transport chains in the henchman's cells and >>ZOT<<.

That's effective, at least.

Hmm, I've met my word goal, I don't need to do anything for school tonight... what should I do?

Sammiches. Lots of sammiches. :-D

I'm off to write for a bit and then to bed. I want to read another chapter of FOTR before falling asleep.

Maybe you should try using a real browser, like Firefox. ~ducks for cover~

Well, I did the coffee shop thing for awhile tonight, and it seems to have helped. I'm still not really where I want to be, but I did get in close to three thousand words, which isn't bad considering. I really envy those of you who can write at work!

Of course, it's all crap. But it's *my* crap.

Er...that doesn't really sound that positive, does it?

You know, when you've already got your system locked down the way I have out of sheer paranoia, IE isn't the worst choice of browser in the world.

Besides I'm the only person on the planet who hates tabbed browsing.

12454. That's it for tonight. I broke 12k, completed one chapter and started another. Good enough. :-P

Frodo has just given to the keys to Bag End to Lobelia (rude thing that she is) and overheard a stranger speaking to the Gaffer. He's with Sam and Pippin now, complaining about the weight of his pack. Gandalf hasn't shown up. Prolly out partying with his wizard buddies again and lost track of the time.

I wonder where Frodo will end up next? :-D

Nighty night, Hobbit Hole. See you ~tomorrow~.

*sees Hair giving me the Eye*

Got my turkey today. It was on sale for $.59 a pound! I got a 14 lb. bird cause Paul will be home for Thanksgiving, and I wanted SOME leftovers. Mmmm...leftover turkey sammiches, indeed!

Yeah -- get back to us in 2 weeks after when you are doing Turkey Spaghetti, Turkey Quiche, Turkey Jello, Turkey Cake and Turkey Underarm Deoderant.

I remember that post-Thanksgiving stuff ;)

Turkey Underarm Deoderant.

It's OK, except for the bit about how it attracts ants. Lots of them.
