The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

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!

At least the charcoal doesn't produce heat in the house...

Well...if I decide I can live with charcoal, it's a lot more likely I can find a used one, too. More of 'em around to show up at garage sales 'n that.

I just hate waiting.

We just picked up a new George Foreman grill. Our old one died some time back. It's handy, but not the same as cookin' outdoors.

I think there's some soup left if he doesn't want popcorn.

I'm really ready to leave well enough alone with Ms. putputputputput.... but then she goes and drops some kinda whole new turd in the pool.

Oh well... it's cheaper than on-demand movies.

:-)

I like my George Foreman grill but it seems hard to cook big thick things - the outside cooks too fast.

Whew, I'm home. After 13 hours. And the test tomorrow at ten... yeah, I'm doomed.

Heh heh!! The Road Grill. It's still a great grill.

You know what...earlier I took Steve his lunch you know...at his office. I knew he'd be there late tonight so I took plenty for a supper too. On a whim, I put a couple of those oranges that the nice neighbor gave us for loosing our chickens in the bag for Steve...though normally he doesn't eat stuff like that, I figured he might need it.

Sure enough, he just emailed me and said he couldn't find something he needed...a citation. I have no idea what that is, but he couldn't find it and got frustrated. Got up, took a break and ate one of those oranges. Came back, sat down and right away, found what he needed.

I think it was the orange that did it.

:-D

Citation = a reference to another paper you are quoting or mentioning for background.

Any tips on getting the stuff going?

I settled for steamed cauliflower and popcorn chicken for tonight...maybe get a grill this weekend - I think I'm going to make a list of garage sales and go searching for that and a lawn mower, though the lawn mower is the priority. Hopefully can find 'em cheap, and I should be getting paid again vey soon...
