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!

I'm sitting here taking deep breaths and trying to remain calm.

All I'm going to say is the information from Steve's advisor about not having to take another 2 hours his last semester to graduate appears to have been pulled right from the advisor's ass.

Steve is checking in to it.

And it's been two weeks since he turned the thesis in to his committee. Waiting for word.

Clare mentioned the moon, but I never even looked outside. I love it when the sky is clear and the bright moon is shining off new snow. It IS like daylight!

Don't know what time SirKit's plane got away in the wee hours. The phone rang about 1 am, and caller ID said it was his cell phone, but when I answered it I couldn't hear anything. He must have calling to tell me they were finally boarding, and reception was bad, because I waited for a couple of hours and he didn't come home. He'd said that if they didn't leave last night that he'd come on home. So I'm assuming that he has made it to Seattle. He'll call me sometime during the day to let me know he made it there safely.

Wow! We were at 15 degrees this morning, but we gots about 20" of snow on the ground to account for that! They're saying we'll be up in the 40's on Friday, but that it's back in the deep freeze next week. That will be good news for all the skiing families in the area. The kids have School vacation next week, and we got a LOAD of snow at all the ski resorts yesterday. Those places are gonna be PACKED next week.

Heh heh...not a bad idea, but actually...I'm being successful at staying calm. His advisor told him he didn't need to the two hours. The secretary over the department in Stillwater says he does...

I'm in a "wait and see" mode...

But the advisor is obviously a moron. I hope I never meet him or I might loose my Christian witness all over the place.

appears to have been pulled right from the advisor's ...

Perhaps that's where it needs to be put back in, then...

Heh.

I just sent Steve the picture of the boxfan saying "I'm not afraid to use it."

Someday, Steve *is* going to graduate...but this has really been a trial. I don't talk about it every day...but it's on my mind every single day.
