The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

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!

Galaxy Quest is a great movie. How could anyone not like it?

Sorry to hear about Zak. There is many of our dogs and cats in the field by the Rainbow Bridge. We'll see them again, hale and hearty, when we pass by that way. OB & LSA

It's an original idea, I suppose. Certainly not something most of us would ever dream up.

Heh... I saw LF post about "AI" earlier and I had no clue what that was. Thought up about three different things it could be, none of which were likely.

Okay ... I have officially contracted DaBear's ick.

I'm running a fever (my clothes are making my skin sore) and my hands and feet are cold. I just dozed off in front of the computer.

Rosie, I did study Sunday, for about 40mins, and I studied yesterday for about 45mins. However, I don't know if I'll be studying today, as I'm going to go to bed now.

Y'all take care!

The buyer better hope that the person offering the service is TRULY a urulogist!

BTW, was the interview you did today one that was set up by the staffing agency?

A staffing agency, yep. Not the one I worked for before, though.

***tries hand a writing intro for new story/novel***

Verlabeana Frapplestein was not an attractive carbon-based unit. While she was not ugly enough to scare a frybolean wossledog from a meat transport cargo vehicle, when it came to last call at the Galactic Outpost 649J Grille and Lubrication Salon Verlabeana would be the unit asked to lock the door and extinguish the illumination panels.

Still, Verlabeana had a way of lighting up a life sustaining chamber. Truth be told it was likely her overexposure to the gamma rays from the Grille’s weekly special of thrice radiated Mongoloosian pork chops.

The male carbon units at Galactic Outpost 649J loved Verlabeana, but they loved her pork chops more.

So, there's that.

Evening!

Got 10 bales of hay unloaded, 4 loaded back on the truck to take back tomorrow, dinner started (spaghetti), and a movie on for Gidget (Narnia).
