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!

if only I could find a way to market that...

That's what all the grads there say about their degree... but at least they teach them all how to say: "Double Tall or Grande?" :-)

I buy boxed wine, you know? It stays fresh longer and I don't feel rushed to drink it up like I do with bottled. I usually buy Carmenet Merlot, but decided to try Cabernet Sauvignon and it was Na-STEE!

I'm back to the Merlot.

Well, I ~did~ get all the Christmas stuff to the attic (with the exception of two of Luke's snowglobes I just found). I ~didn't~ get it all resorted and packed away. I just wasn't up to it. I'll have to do that later on.

But I also

- took Jr. across town to a friend's house
- got wife's prescription
- picked up dinner
- washed Nana's sheets and made her bed
- cleaned up dog barf

I should get a box of wine. Sounds safer than tequila. ;-)

She'll start by kicking out of her shoes
Lose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink

Them panty hose aint gonna last too long
If the DJ puts Bon Jovi on
She might come home in a table cloth
Yea tequila makes her clothes fall off

Speaking of which, I'm off to pour my first bourbon and Dr. Pepper of the evening.

somebody should sell box-o-beer. The little tap in the fridge... perfect.

It would work. It wouldn't go flat. Ice cold...

Hmmm...

Ugh...I told you about the time I drank all that tequila...don't even speak of it.

This Carmenet is not so bad...I've tried Franzia and it wasn't any good. This is a bit more expensive, but I only get a box every three weeks or so.

It tastes just the same when you drink the last bit as when you open it. Not so with bottled. It gets really rank within a day or two.

Maybe that's the million dollar idea we've been lookin' for - for the Hobbit Hole compound?
