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!

Not me!

[RMDupree]

Heading home. See you all later. :-D

[JenB]

Oh bah. You only have to suffer with this for another six months before you can tell us to get a room...

[HairOfTheDog]

OK - wind is really kickin' up here and I'm fearing death by tree.... again.

[SuziQ]

Late in the day shimmying going on here too, hon!! That light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger and brighter!!

[SuziQ]

Well, at least you know you're #1 in line, and they DID want to get the references. You know THEY'LL be good!

[SuziQ]

Have you seen a pic of his sidekick lately? There's a billboard on Rt 9 here, and I didn't even know who it was! He and Eddie both look like they've been rode hard and put up wet!

[RMDupree]

Yup. Remember we were discussing David Lee Roth on-thread a few months ago?

He looks awful too.

[osagebowman]

That's wonderful news, looks like the light at the end of the tunnel is becoming much brighter. OB&LSA

Evening folks!

Went to the eye doctor today, and gots me some new eyeglasss ordered.

[SuziQ]

Being able to SEE is always a good thing.

[ecurbh]

Surprisingly, my prescription hasn't really changed in the 10+ years since my last exam. My poor old 15-year-old glasses are ready to be retired, though.

[Overtaxed]

Hehehehe....couldn't resist.

[ecurbh]

HA! I love it.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

LOL! That's great!

[JenB]

15 years? Wow, and mine are only pushing two and I want new ones.

[Overtaxed]

The link to it was posted on the NC board.

[SuziQ]

*snort*

[osagebowman]

That was excellent -

[Ramius]

Evenin' folkses...

L'otel appears to have power this evening.

Beyond that... I know nothing. I'm brainfried. :-)
