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!

HA! It's got an orange coat... and it's poor :~D

Rosie, maybe when you come you can help me determine the gender of this "Kenny", if we can get it out of the closet.

[RosieCotton]

Should I come now? ;-) And should I leave the doofus at home, or do you think he'll be OK?

[RMDupree]

Kenny's probably starving. Can you lure him/her out with some grub?

[osagebowman]

Unbelievable, whodathought.

[HairOfTheDog]

Your choice... it's already a little chaotic over here :~D What's one more?

[HairOfTheDog]

I set food out already. It's just scared.

[RosieCotton]

;-)

OK, be right over.

[RMDupree]

Yup....what a way to "end" the show. :-)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Fastest two hours on television! Really amazing show...

[Corin Stormhands]

[g'nad]

Okay... who here said when they found out that missiles were targatting SF, "so what's the big rush?... take yer time..."

oh... and I called it when Jack had the phone call... even the Chinese connection... damn I'm good... jest cuz I'm paranoid don't mean they ain't out tuh get me...

[osagebowman]

Agreed, both.

[Corin Stormhands]

I agree g'nad...We knew somethin' was up when Jack had to take a call on a land line. Took me a bit longer to realize who it was...can you say "Slow boat to China..."

And...Can Martha be President now?

;-)

[Corin Stormhands]

g'nite folks

have fun west coast, it's a wild ride.

[HairOfTheDog]

Help help help!

This little cat just got 'dumped in our lap'. Rosie has now come over and helped hold her so we could establish gender. And she's both very thin, but has a HUGH belly. She's not old enough to be a momma. She's no bigger than Tweek and Pippin.

[JenB]

Are you sure she's pregnant?

Tam and Halvah could adopt one of the kittens, maybe.

[HairOfTheDog]

She's got a ridiculous belly. She's either pregnant or has something very wrong with her, like a big worm load. Other than her belly she's a bag of bones.

[JenB]

Poor thing.

I need to go to bed. Got to get this normal-job thing worked out! I am not going to be around during the day this summer at all, if I am, yell at me.

[HairOfTheDog]

Fair enough!

[JenB]

I'm working hard! and my dad's in the next row of cubes anyway.
