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!

Good Evening Alkin, surfing and semi watching (listening to) the TV.

[osagebowman]

Evening Rosie - good luck on the interview, relax and you'll do fine.

[osagebowman]

Evening Rose: that is great news, good luck the interview.

I like it alot. Don't have it out at the beach yet... but will do it one of these days.

Already abandoned the movie... commenced ta channel surfin'.

[RMDupree]

~smile~

I'd love to have it simply because I can put on any kids' show at any time.

Which comes in handy when Aly is asking for "Little Bear" or "Blue's Clues" in the late afternoon when they aren't on.

[Alkhin]

Hi y'all - Ruthie - cute show! My sister in law dressed up as Belle one year...you should have seen all the little ones' jaws drop! "Moooooom! It's BELLE!!!"

She looked JUST like her!!

I have a huge pile of movies I need to sit down and watch...

[Ramius]

I figure that on-demand programming will become more and more common. Thinking about it... having to wait on the network schedule is kinda silly if someday ~all~ the content is available all the time.

[Ramius]

Hmmm... now... what to have fer dinner... hmmm...

[RMDupree]

Belle is my personal favorite.

Next time we go to Disney, I hope the girls get to see her.

[RMDupree]

Dinner-on-demand? *grin*

[Ramius]

I think that's called "pizza". :-)

Opted for chili.

[HairOfTheDog]

FRMail :~D

[RMDupree]

Backatcha!

[RMDupree]

Quick and easy dinner. Gotta love that!

[Corin Stormhands]

Thanks, I'll need to look at the actual disk. I'll do that post drugs...

[RosieCotton]

Aw...you're no fun!

*imagining how many ways an installation could go wrong on drugs*

[RMDupree]

(((Corin)))

Thanks, hon. I love the gift!

[Corin Stormhands]

Corin, come back after your surgery, you can still talk to us, right?

Yes, I'm having a tooth removed. Not fingers. I just may be a bit loopy for a while tomorrow. Not that there's anything different.

I'm really looking forward to the painkillers and the Christmas lights.

I never really experienced the 60s.

[RosieCotton]

Heh...

[RosieCotton]

Mine?
