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!

Dammit, ExGI. That blows.

Sorry to hear it... but I sure know the feeling. :-|

I don't like this place today. I'm going to bed and hope it's all better tomorrow.

g'nite

I hope so... It would help if we didn't keep hearing coyotes.

Well...it was *kinda* fun, at least. Still have a headache, though.

We mostly sat around telling embarrassing stories about our childhoods. Way to bring the new sister into the fold, I guess. ;-)

Any sign of Pippin yet?

I didn't see that news before I left. Feel like a jerk for being negative over relatively minor stuff now.

Your stuff ain't minor at all :~D

How'd the visit go?

Oh - I see - sounds like fun...

We're going to bed... hopefully Pip will show up. The thing about cats is this happens when they go out.

Is the family coming down tomorrow?

They're coming down in the evening.

I'm trying not to resent the heck out of the fact that they're going to Pike's Market and such like earlier in the day - some of them, anyhow. On the one day I can't go.

And what's planned for Saturday, when I *can* be there? A barbeque at the house of the sister who hosted this Sunday's deal. Granted, it'll be fun, but...

I didexpect that, after a certain period, while it might take a while, even a long while, to cement it, it would also take something non-trivial to disrupt it.

It's just as well that I learn of this shallowness now than when it really matters.

Resume fixed (using PhotoShop!).

Data needed for completion of application package still missing (despite best efforts of the inteding provider). I had meant to put it all together last night, and drop it off this morning on the way to work. As it stands right now I'll get that data this afternoon and have the package ready to go Monday morning. D--d early, too :)

Well, I'll take you to Pike Place Market someday...

It's a horrid paved city thing.

Pippin came back, came up when I checked for him at 3:45.

I'm too much of a control freak to own cats. They make me crazy :~\
