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!

So is this the program that you worked on? I remember your saying that they were filming something when you were out there once. Didn't you say that you were interviewed but they didn't use it? I'd think it would have been cool, and the male viewers would have liked, seeing a petite, good lookin woman talkin 'Metal Rain'!

He's done! He got the signatures on the thesis approval page (on special OSU Bond paper) and turned it in to the Graduate College! Got a "Graduate Field Pass" which means he can enter the field to hear Bush speak this Saturday. He also got 8 General Admission tickets.

He forgot to tell me when I need to pick him up at the bus...so I'm still waiting for that.

2J SHIMMY time!!!
I'm so thrilled for y'all. SirKit and I were talking about it this morning, and he agreed that Steve had been ill-served by his Advisor. I'm so glad that the Dept. Chairman, and the others picked the ball up and ran with it so Steve could get graduated!!

Well, since either of us getting cold feet would interfere with The Plan, I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that won't happen...

Heh heh!! I actually have to finish cleaning the house for Ma's visit. Then I will have to go up to North Tulsa to pick him up.

He's going by the GC office to talk to them about (hopefully) going ahead and letting him graduate this semester. There's not much hope, but he might as well ask...he only missed the deadline by a few days! As it stands now, from what I understand, he's actually a "summer graduate".

If they don't let him graduate this semester, he'll have to fill out a new Diploma Application...for the summer. That's ok...none of it is horribly important, but would be nice not to have to think about it again.

Also, he has to upload the thesis electronically. No problem.

This is funny.... when ecurbh came for ~smoochmoot~... our first meeting really, he brought his suit and his tux in his big garment bag, and left it here... it's a bulky thing to move.

He was planning on staying all along :~D

Heh!

Last night we went to Walmart and it seemed like we were walking in a fog. Steve would say things like "I can't believe I actually did it." and "I can't believe it's finished." On the way home he said to me "All these years, you never waivered."

He seems a bit in shock.

Well I had already booked plane tickets for the 'moot the parents' before Turkeymoot so I guess that counts as some level of commitment.

I hope you get to start working on the Bug again this summer! What are you going to do with all this Steve-time?

"All these years, you never waivered."

2J: "If you say you want to go back to school to work on a doctorate, I'll do more than waiver!"

Seriously 2J... I'm glad it's over, this has been hard on both of you.
