The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 12/11/2005 8:37:40 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

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!

That's the worst, isn't it? You leave the office in body, but your mind insists on staying there. :-/

Stop and Shop has a Decaf Hazelnut Cinnamon that is scrumptious. We like to have it in the evenings.

In other news, I heard a fantastic song on the radio. Great celtic rock with a funky edge. I simply must hear it again! Alas, I missed the artist. *grumble*

Well let us know if you figure it out! I'm curious.

Does the radio station keep a playlist on-line, maybe?

Probably not for regular morning stuff, I guess.

They do list playlists... they just lag behind by two days. :(

She said two weeks ... and it's only been one.

Still ... maybe she only told me "two weeks" because she was gonna offer the job to someone else, and she'd be sending out the Letters Of Death in two weeks?
