The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Home is behind, the world ahead
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! |

So I went and got the bottle ...
It's Ron Bacardi Gold Reserve (Añejo). 80 proof, not 151.
But I bought it while I lived in San Antonio. Heck, I seem to recall me and my father taking a hit off this ... he died over nineteen years ago. (Mercy .. has it been that long?)
I bet this sips okay ...

There's a South Park marathon on Comedy Central. Or, if you prefer, a Twilight Zone marathon on SciFi channel.

Hmmm... she hasn't come back. Not a good sign... Maybe it's ten times as potent and she passed out with one sip?

Watching the news lets you know what will be going on in Times Square in about an hour.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Law and Order has a marathon about the murdering mastermind of an Austrailian. Nicole Wallace!
To: Ramius; RMDupree; Bear_in_RoseBear
Pretty smooth!
Pretty strong, too!
Dangme ... this is tasty! Been a while since I had rum that wasn't in a cake!
To: RMDupree; Rose in RoseBear
Of course the other way to deal with it if the taste is off is simply to have like three shots rapid fire.
Won't taste a thing after that. Maybe not till Tuesday.
