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!

If you all miss by a certain margin can we keep the dough?

[Corin Stormhands]

Stray but a little and it will fail to the ruin of all.

[Pippin]

Got a question, Corin or anyone who can answer this.

What was the title of the song Pippin sang in the "Return of the King"?

[JenB]

Hey, we're just thinking about how to pay for this.... ;-)

[Corin Stormhands]

ecurbh is the soundtrack expert, but I believe it was "The Steward of Gondor."

[Pippin]

Thanks, Corin!

[SuziQ]

Prayers going up, Miz Rose!!

[RMDupree]

Keep me in your thoughts. I had a second interview last week, and I think they're making their decision this week. I really-really want this job --- tech support and coding, for an important state government office --- for the money, the experience, and the benefits.

Prayers up!!

Y'all behave!

:-P

[TalonDJ]

Hmmm, kilt.

[JenB]

Lunchtime! Mmm...

[Pippin]

HMMMMMMM!<p. I had MUSHROOMS!

[TalonDJ]

Heh, me too :D

[JenB]

Pip... didn't we tell you, no more mushrooms?

[Pippin]

They were portabellas!

[Pippin]

AHHH!

The life!

[TalonDJ]
