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!

Well, I think I'd like to make some eggs.

One of these days we need to visit NZ, find that hobbit hole and shake that man's hand.

Once you make the death ray (we prefer 'life function reduction projector') the couple million is easy.

I'd like to visit New Zealand anyway. They have awesome wines and things. But it would be awesomely bizzare to try to find that guy and explain the whole thing to him. He would probably run away very fast.

Isn't New Zealand on our list of places for future Moots?

That and the Grand Canyon, Alaska, Las Vegas...

And Ramius discovered that we can rent a gorgeous villa/HH compound, complete with maid and butler service, on a beach in Mexico for less than a grand a week.

Not each, mind you. It's about $800 total. :-)

And we should raise our coffee cups or other suitable beverage to our esteemed moderator of the thread(s) as well. Cheers and our thanks.

I'm getting to the point of just telling our landlord, "You can keep what's left, sell it if you want..."

Yeah, I know what you mean. Paul is going to take some of our furniture, but we have a big old TV and an entertainment center that he doesn't want and we don't want to fool with moving. We're going to put them down in the basement and just leave them with the house. VIOLA! Instant media room! ;o)

Oh great. A whole week in the same house with g'nad and Montezuma's revenge.

Charming.

Hmm, I think of it as simply a speedbump on the road that goes on and on.

You'll duck out after two days anyway...

Dunno, a Mexican beach could be pretty nice... depends on the villa, cuz this time I'm not sleeping on a sofabed.
