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!

Yeah, we've been thinking lately that moving back South would be kinda nice.

I gotta get some gloves before tackling the cleaning jobs at the trailer. My hands are sore enough already.

That's a definite.

It's a bit more awkward, but at least your hands aren't bleeding stubs when you're done cleaning.

It bugs me not to be able to *feel* when something is clean...so I hate usin' 'em. But, as you said, it's better than the alternative. ;-)

Bleeding stubs - ouch!

Ungh...I need to figure out where I'm gonna sleep tonight. Have three choices: air mattress that is FREEZING and goes flat halfway through the night, hard floor (on top of the sleeping bag, I guess, or couch, which is too short for me, I believe.

I'm thinkin' the floor will win out. Hotel beds are gonna seem like a luxury! Heh...

I just hate not being able to stretch out...but I guess I'll start there.

At least I'll be sure of having a coupla furballs to keep me warm, no matter where I sleep!

Put the cushions from the couch on the floor - your feet might dangle off, but at least you won't have to be a pretzel ;~D

Fidelevent (or some play on irrelevent).

Never really coming to grips with the fact no one really listens to a has-been dictator.

*grin*

Hugo Chavez needs one too. And Kim Jong Il.

Sooner rather than later, I'd bet.

There's an enormous amount of money willing to be poured into Havana, as soon as they think their investment won't merely be nationalized (again) and stolen.
