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!

I've never done that...didn't know you could.

I don't care if it takes a few hours. The trouble is that the bank isn't on my way anywhere...

I'm going to likely switch banks, but I have to figure out the area a bit first.

Well here's hoping the kinks are worked out soon!

I'd go crazy if I had to go to the bank every payday. :-/

Wow... that's annoying. I have got to get direct deposit this summer or it'll be insane, I dunno if they even have my bank there.

Thanks everyone! We're thrilled and stuned beyond belief.

Ma's here...got in just fine yesterday, so we've got "company" for the first time since OT visited! She's still in bed.

So, is there any chance they'll show Steve has having 'graduated' this semester, or will they be sticklers and make it the Summer graduation? How would that affect the situation if he wants to look for a better job this summer?

ASAP! LOL

I guess he's officially looking now. He had been in the fall, but when the thesis hit the fan in December and they had the big meeting about it in Stillwater, *everything* got put on the back burner while he worked on the thing, getting it finished.

I'm so sick of effluent and influent. Heh heh!

Nope, no Spring graduation...they're sticklers.

It shouldn't make much difference though, because he can get a "Letter of Completion" from the registrar saying he's done...from what I understand.

I may have him get a copy of that letter and I'll frame it in the meantime...heh heh!

Go ahead and get the frame into which the diploma will ultimately be placed and put that letter THERE!

Bah, I had a nightmare *and* I overslept a little (just to my alarm which is my getting up deadline) and I have a final presentation in two hours. More caffeine...
