The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...

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! |

Let's just say that the wife is out of town on business and had said "I'll take care of dinner before I go." The call I get at 5:10 when I'm loading frap in the truck for tomorrow's all-day-rather-stick-needles-in-my-eye meeting apparently indicates that "taking care of dinner" means calling Corin and saying "you need to get them dinner."
That was one of the better moments of the evening. But I gotta sign off now, Jr. has to work on his research paper.

Re: Tonight's episode of "Lost"...
HOLY CARP!!!!
In other news, preparations for our move continue... we're renting a truck to move a bunch of junk from our garage to a storage unit on Saturday. Movers come in to move our furniture on Monday. That probably won't end it all, but I hope to be done with it all by May 15.
I hope.

Nice to see ya!
RE: the move. Just take it one step at a time, Bear. It's no easy thing. :-/
I missed most of LOST, but that's OK since I've decided to watch seasons 1 & 2 on DVD with Ramius. ;-)

True enough, didn't see that coming, though it makes sense, sorta.
Good Luck to you and Rose on the move.

So did you find another apartment? I just found out that my older sister's oldest son and his wife are now living in Austin!

Here's a fun link you guys might enjoy.I can get 12 ga breaching rounds for any of you folks that tend to forget keys for padlocks (or doors).
To: SuziQ
Yep, we found a 3-2 apartment with an attached 1-car garage, signed a 1-year lease for it on Monday the first.
Heh, Austin is the place to be... heard a news report last week that the job market here is starting to approach the levels we saw in the late 90s, before the high-tech bust. Vey good news!

it wuz way kewl... good werk ma'am... Tanks. They did a good job with the segment. Though, munitions like that speak for themselves... Here's a bit of trivia: The orange box you see in some of the footage is the target - not necessarily the vehicle. The box is a Dell computer shipping box spray painted surveyor orange. :P
I can't wait to see the energy weapons!
Bah. HE is energy.
