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!

Just don't be surprised if the Jedis get taped to a bench :~D

s'more likely they'll be able to keep their teeth in one of them jelly jars 2J likes to collect...

South Park episode reference... an episode about homeschoolers... the boy in the homeschooling family decides he wants to go to public school and the other kids end up taping him to a bench at recess. The father of the kid goes to the dads to complain about their boys bullying his boy, and the dads tape him to a bench ;~D

[Corin Stormhands]

Public skool referernce...taunt the other boys and risk havin' the ever-luvin' snot beat out of ya...

I'm just sayin' is all.

[SuziQ]

Heh

That's a little more mean than my siblings and I ever were... we mostly liked the passive evil of being out in the yard playing when the school bus went past.

I think spraying people with a hose who don't want to be sprayed is kind of mean.

I received an email today from Maj Bart, over in Iraq. As a self-prclaimed staff puke (who still goes outside the wire), he said a lot of time is spent in Powerpoint presentations. This is the letter "H" from "OIF ABCs".

[HairOfTheDog]

ROTFL!

[Corin Stormhands]

They're fighting the terrorists with Powerpoint?

I thought Powerpoint ~was~ terrorism.

[Corin Stormhands]

Later folks. Wife is out of town this evening.

Glad I told Nana and the boys to eat yesterday...

[SuziQ]

Oh, that is hilarious!!

[JenB]

Well, you killed the thread...

Wow! It's almost six here and still light! I love that it's staying light later. Makes me feel like I have more day.

[Overtaxed]

I fried up some cucumbers....taste kinda like fried squash but with a hint of cucumber.

[RMDupree]

HAHAHAHAAH!!!

Love that!

Evenin' everyone.

[JenB]

Is it Friday yet?

[RMDupree]

Don't I wish, chica :-(

I didn't get out of work until quarter to seven this evening. Then home to bathe and feed the girls. Started some laundry too.

I'm exhausted.

[JenB]

Ouch. That's just not right.

Have you started counting the days until Moving Day yet?

[RMDupree]

Too many days still.

I'm counting down the days until I see Ramius again though!

[JenB]

Mmmm... I have one of those countesr (with an obvious difference of subject) myself. Less than four days, here!

[RMDupree]

Lucky girl! ~sigh~

Still 14 days out here.

[RMDupree]

Snaig.
