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!

It may never work out. But suddenly, I don't feel as trapped any more.

It's a GOOD feelin, isn't it?

Air Strike

You preferred a weapon with 72% power over speed and 76% range over melee.

You scored higher than 94% on power You scored higher than 89% on range

(Actually, I prefer artillery, but I guess they didn't offer that option. Gotta give the Air Force something to do.)

We've gotten into the habit of staying through the credits when we go out to the movies. Partly to avoid the crowd leaving the theater, but also to make sure we at least acknowledge the work EVERYONE did on the movie. We were surprised when we saw the last Star Wars movie with the Darth Vader breathing sound at the very end of the credits!

Well, I can tell you that being able to keep your health insurance is a MAJOR deal!! You will have a lot more flexibility! We're now doing the COBRA thing and it is SO expensive! We're thinking of going to a Med. Savings Acct. set up with a high deductible Catastrophic policy. It would likely be less expensive than what we're doing now.

Yeah, the health insurance has always been the scary thing.

Nana and Papa lost theirs when his former company cancelled the policies for all the retirees. And she only has her Medicare and now the prescription drug stuff now.

Medical bills nearly ruined them financially.

Well how bout that, didn't know that was an option. Hmm, wonder what else is 'available' amongst weaponry choices.

Okay, prayers up please.

Jr. is on his way to interview at Kings Dominion. It's a bit of a hike, particularly with gas prices. But they're very flexible in scheduling which is what he needs for this summer.

Does he have to wear a funny hat?

If his success at finding the offices to apply is any indication, he may not have to worry about the hat. He called me three times from the parking lot.

That said, they don't usually wear the funny hats at Kings Dominion. Busch Gardens is another story.

We're thinking of going there on Monday with Luke. They've got a deal for Virginia residents that if you buy a regular one day ticket before May 31, you can come back any day between now and Labor Day. It's like a mini season's pass.
