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!

Don't worry about those idjits. We can't all be perfect like them.

Sam wanted to show you a better picture of the floor...

(he said not to pay attention to the fact that we haven't got the slipcovers back on...)

It's the whole "damned if you do, damned if you don't" thing that gets me.

I hate that. I'm having to hold a meeting this week to deal with folks who are playing that game with me. I'm a wreck rehearsing what I'm going to say because there's no way to win. Urgh.

Kind of. I have about three across the river trips for Jr. this afternoon, youth choir and other stuff. I ~should~ go to the gym, and might.

How the heck did it get to be 2:00?

We discovered that the Olympics are on an HD channel. I'm watching women's hockey right now. USA is wiping the floor with Germany. Looks GREAT in HD!

Same way it got to be past noon here. Sheesh, I've got to get some homework done and the chores are only at about 50% of where I'd like them to be. I haven't touched the bathroom... the laundry has to be folded... and there's stuff everywhere I need to put away.

I wondered about y'all. The Weather Channel was saying the the DC burbs had gotten a foot of snow. As of about noon we'd had about 4", but then it exploded! We have almost 8" now; doubled in two hours!

SirKit is concerned because his flight is supposed to leave Logan about 8:30 tonight. I'm thinking it's gonna be delayed because ALL flights out of Logan are being delayed. He's planning on leaving here a little before 6, which is about the time they're saying the worst part of it will be over. Once he gets to Rt. 9, it will be smooth sailing because, they keep that road cleared. He can get on to the Pike right off Rt. 9, and because of the new tunnel, all he has to do is follow the Pike all the way in to the airport, and the Pike gets cleared FIRST and often.

Hopefully things will be more or less back on schedule by this evening and he won't have to sit around long waiting for that flight.

Yeah, we're hoping that Logan will be able to start clearing the runways by 6 or so and clear out some of the flights that have been delayed today.

I'd put it at a maybe at this point - they can say anything four days out, but it's just a guess in these parts. ;~D
