Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And there are many paths to tread
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! |

Don't be in such a rush to see it. Remember that once it's over, you have to wait a week to see what happens next. :-/
Every time that clock shows up at the end I imagine the entire East Coast groaning in frustration at the same time. Hehehehe...

To: no one in particular
The following bills have actually been introduced in the Virginia General Assembly this year...
Property; Home Serenity and Tranquility Act; civil penalty. Creates the Home Serenity and Tranquility Act, which prohibits the operation on an athletic field owned or operated by a public or private entity of any event (i) before the hour of eight o'clock in the morning, (ii) after the hour of six o'clock in the evening, or (iii) on Sunday without the unanimous written consent of the affected homeowners. The bill defines athletic field, homeowner, and affected homeowner. The bill provides a civil penalty for violation and gives an aggrieved homeowner a cause of action for violations.
Daily recess for elementary school students. Provides that local school boards shall prohibit the denial of daily outdoor recess or unstructured play to a student for disciplinary reasons, unless the parent of the student notifies the school principal in writing that the student may be excused from all or part of recess as a means to discipline the student.
Income tax; deduction for individuals of incarcerated family members. Provides a $1,000 deduction to taxpayers who have a parent, spouse, or child who normally resides in the same home but who is incarcerated in a Virginia correctional facility.
Crimes; brandishing a machete; penalty. Makes it illegal to brandish a machete in a threatening manner, and includes such offense as one of the predicate criminal acts that defines street gang activity.
When machetes are outlawed, only outlaws will have machetes...
Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?

One of my favorites is "When the boogie man goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Jack Bauer."

Heh, I do like SOME members of my family. The others I can ignore, if I need to.;o) The two most egregious examples don't come around to family gatherings that much, and anyway, the main source of contention, our Mama, is no longer here to cause friction.

We watch CSI on Spike TV all the time! Clare has set up the DVR to get it every night, so we've seen most of them as well; some twice! We really enjoy that show. I've only seen CSI Miami once, and that was the pilot that involved the Las Vegas folks. I've only seen CSI NY once, too. They were pretty good, but the chemistry on the original is just better.
