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!

He got a crush on the holodeck image of the woman scientist who developed his warp engine upgrade. It was part of the "optional materials" that came with the hardware. Later, he got to meet her in real life.

Yeah, but he got in trouble 'cause she was already hitched.

And cuz she found out he was having holodeck fantasies about her. That'd creep anyone out.

You work well with others and often
fix problems quickly. Your romantic
relationships are often bungled.

I'll have to let Clare know about the SG-1 test. That's one of her favorite shows!

We're heading out. Got our "small group" tonight.

I'm trading the whiners for some good wines.

Tonight is an earthy selection of Cabernet Savignon.

Clare DVRs every Friday night's showings of SG-1 and Atlantis, and picks up any re-runs she can find of both. She thinks Samantha Carter is the coolest!

Steve just got this email! I hope he actually graduates!

I just came from the University Commencement Meeting. I'd like for you to scatter this email to as many graduate students as you can. This is a fun (and stressful for the staff!) time to be at OSU!!

If you are graduating or planning on attending graduation, please check the following website as often as you can: http://gradcollege.okstate.edu/events/current/commencement.htm

or

http://osu.okstate.edu/commencement/

Here's the deal:

The Secret Service comes to campus on Monday, May 1st. When they arrive, they are in charge of securing campus for the President. Because we have invited the President of the United States to our commencement, we will be forfeiting doing things "our way" so that the Secret Service can keep him safe. The Secret Service is the security branch that cares for the President to make sure that he stays alive and safe. It is their job to be very protective.

Naturally, the Secret Service can't make decisions about what's safe for the President until they are here actually walking on our campus and checking for security breeches. That means that a lot of the decisions and details about Friday night and Saturday morning have to wait until they get here--which is only four days before commencement. When they get here, they will make decisions and then ask our administration to pass the word to the general public. The administration asks that you please visit the commencement webpages continuously for up-to-date information. When they know, they want you to know.

Please be patient with our administration because the White House does not share everything that it is doing. That should make sense. If they shared all their security plans, then someone could just recalculate how they want to breech them. Everything that OSU knows is posted on the websites for you to know.

Here are things we do know: *All graduates (undergraduate, masters, doctoral, veterinary...) are invited to Saturday morning's commencement. We will not have our individual names called and we will not walk across the stage, but they will confer degrees as we stand to our feet by colleges. In order to have your name called, you must attend the regular commencement exercises. Schedules are on the websites.

*There will be metal detectors and VERY limited permission to bring things in with you. We don't know if you will be able to bring cameras, binoculars, padded chairs... When we know, the website will state it.

*There will be roads blocked and alternate paths (kinda like game days) for transportation. We don't know which ones yet.

*Friday night's commencement will be as normal as possible, but the photo shoot and reception will not be in Gallagher-Iba. Plans are to have it in the Noble Research Center. We will be asked to vacate the building immediately after the ceremony. There is a chance that the Secret Service will ask us to move Friday night commencement to another location. Again, honoring graduates is the goal while keeping the President safe.

*There will be water bottles and special programs made available to graduates as they enter the stadium.

Here are some of the things that we don't know yet: *whether there needs to be tickets to get into Saturday mornings commencement. If a need for tickets arises, all details will be made known by the website. That's why it's important to keep visiting the website.

*details, details, and other details. Details will be made available when the Secret Service gets here. Be patient, be flexible, and CHECK THE WEBSITE!! :)
