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!

Heh, thinking about wedding planning stuff and listening to 'The Final Countdown'.
Heh, *grin*

[g'nad]

I'm in on the wedding pool...my guess is 2 weeks after Jen's graduation date.

We're excited for you both. Congratulations!

So I think we have a tentative date now... as long as there aren't more silly flaming hoops we haven't figured out yet...

[TalonDJ]

Let me update the chart, and give the stragglers a chance to get in on it :D I think we win, unfortunately. I would pay big bucks to have some of these guesses to be right :p

[Overtaxed]

Just announced.....we're closing at 2.

[JenB]

Guess we have moved pretty quick considering we aren't even officially engaged.... :D

Belated Happy New Year. I don't know if you guys play World of Warcraft, but if you do, this is amusing:

I do... holy c#@6 that is funny stuff.

To all the rest of you. LFG is shorthand for 'looking for a group for a quest'
LFM is 'looking for more for a group'.
A red quest is way over your level. Or when your armor is all damaged.
'Aggro' is when you piss off a bunch of monsters that can easily kick your arse.

[TalonDJ]

Pretty quick considering we kissed for the first time a week and two days ago.

You don't win the money unless you pick a specific date. And Rosie and I already have dibs on Saturday the 27th.

[osagebowman]

How much snow have you got?? We only have about an inch of the white stuff, and when I talked to OB he hadn't gotten much more than a trace downtown. LSA

[JenB]

You could try picking another date.... or split the prize three ways. :-p

[Corin Stormhands]

.... or split the prize three ways. :-p

The record will stand that I picked it first.

Are you saying that's it? Or are you not saying yet?

[JenB]

I haven't said anything...
