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!

Oh yeah! Two hours tonight, right? 8pm?

[Lil'freeper]

We're watching Underworld featurettes until E-Ring comes on.

[JenB]

I'm not sure, I'll wait til the torrent is out and see.

[ExGeeEye]

So I finally show up, and it's dead?

Or is it resting?

Oh well...going to go look at a presentation my seeester has on her recent trip to Israel, and then to have a look at the R-B Hobbit preparatory to a three-nights-out-of-ten LotR EE view.

BTW, whoever has the Corin Christmas viddy, please ask for my new snailmail :)

[RMDupree]

Sorry about that.

I wa spaying with Google Earth and my mom spotted Cuba. She started searching for her old house (got to the area but couldn't find it).

10 more minutes...

[JenB]

You were spaying with Google Earth? I didn't know you could do that...

[Overtaxed]

R-B Hobbit? Go hard core....watch Bakshi LOTR!

[RMDupree]

Heh..the first thing I did when I got it was find my own rooftop.

[2Jedismom]

I'm here! I'm here!

Jedis are at TCDTS. I'm making Hamburger helper.

Suzi, I've sent you a couple of emails...

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Good evening... first hour of "Lost" tonight is a recap show... second hour is a new episode.

Recap ep on now!

[JenB]

That's what I thought. Thanks for the clarification!

[RMDupree]

Hey there!

Watching LOST, so I'll be posting during commercials. ;-)

[2Jedismom]

Ok!

You know, one of these days Steve may actually graduate...then I won't be able to log in here in the evening at ALL.

I remind myself of that when I start feeling frustrated with him! Heh heh!

[g'nad]

Alas, the spies of Saruman have unearthed one of the missing pilantirs and with it they can see deep into the heart of Fangorn.

bastiges...

[HairOfTheDog]

I decided to just stop talking at all till he gets back.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

But... he's not back yet.

[RMDupree]

hehehehe....

This recap needs to hurry up already.

[SuziQ]

Oops! Sorry! I was out for a while, then working on Clare's mid-year transcript. My computer had stalled earlier, so I had to re-boot and I didn't re-open my e-mail. I just logged back on, so I'll check it out now.

[JenB]

Don't do that...

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, except for that one time. Just marking my spot ;~D
