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!

Mornin'...

[sip]

Yeesh... two hours of dealing with UK people already. Didn't we fight a war to get away from them or something? I could swear I remember something like that.

Somebody in Italy can't connect to somebody in England, and they call somebody in Seattle, so it can be fixed by somebody in DC.

It's kinda' amazing when you think about it. :-)

You should outsource to the U.A.E.

It's safe.

Trust me.

Good mornin'. I hope this means that the rest of your day will be peaceful. *fingers crossed*

But at least Italy is fixed. :-)

According to our juju abatement policy and procedure manual I have to sacrifice a goat in the computer room, so I'll have to stop on the way in, at the goat store. I hope I still have those coupons.

Heh, #2 son and I were discussing goat sacrifice last night. In order to get free tuition while he's on his fellowship, he's gotta file some paperwork and do a few incantations, and musta missed one of them. I told him to sacrifice a goat and he'd be fine. Surprised him, I did, by knowing that bit of computer lore. The Hobbit Hole has been an education for me, as well. ;o)

I joined FR in Oct. of 2000, heh, about the time I joined Netflix, as well. Both have been highly entertaining!

Heh...there was an ad on Craigslist the other day from someone that was willing to trade a buncha different stuff for goats. I was scratchin' my head over that one. But maybe they needed 'em for sacrifice. That would explain everything!

Honey? Can you pick up an extra goat on the way home?

It's Lotto night. *grin*
