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!

No, I'm on backup duty next weekend.

[RosieCotton]

More or less, for that room, anyhow...

It's very cheerful, at least... ;-)

[HairOfTheDog]

Check it out.

Gorgeous!

[TalonDJ]

How about sometime in September?

I thought you were debugging code... ;D

[TalonDJ]

Well she will not have to worry about a VP taking a shot at her while she is showering...

[Overtaxed]

Orange is retro...

[Overtaxed]

Is there - gulp - wallpaper to be removed?

[g'nad]

what integrity...

good call on the CRKT "OIF"...

[g'nad]

Yeah, I got an e-mail while on the road about interviewing for a position right in Olympia.

woohooo!!!

[ExGeeEye]

Sort if on topic...do you remember bathroom countertops that were transparent plastic with rocks'n'pebbles embedded in them? Last one I saw was at the Far West Motel in Kaysville, Utah, in December 1974...

oy...

I liked it, and wonder whether it's still there. The motel is.

[JenB]

September works for me.

I surface every 45 minutes or so for water and sanity check. Whee, fix one bug and find another. But there's progress.

[Rose in RoseBear]

There's nothing wrong with orange!

It's a nice, thirsty color that perks up your mood! Just what you want in the morning!

[RMDupree]

Dude, where's my sunglasses? ;-)

[JenB]

Does she get the cat to match? Or does she have to dye Tam if she wants orange kitties?

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't think Tam wants a Cartman to match ;~D

[Overtaxed]

Cat conflicts?

[Lil'freeper]

Meeting went better than expected, but I had worked myself into such an anxious statte that it wasn't hard to have a better than expected meeting. I came home relieved and just got in from a lovely dinner out with Big'ol.

[osagebowman]

Evening Winmag - great letter, thanks for all the work you do supporting the troops.

[g'nad]

I'm gonna smile sweetly at him and say "Did anyone ever tell you YOU'RE A JACKASS?"

*sniff* that's jest beautiful...

roadtrip?...

[osagebowman]

Heh, I got a project in a town south of there, I could swing by and pick u up; I'll be getting mileage so...
