Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Then world behind and home ahead
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! |
|

The result of drinking too much Ringnes
I've even figured out what kind of beer Gimli might get over there.
'Course, that looks like a drunk elf, tell you the truth.

There is a lot written about lutefisk:
To understand the relationship between aquavit and lutefisk, here's an experiment you can do at home. In addition to aquavit, you will need a slice of lemon, a cracker, a dishtowel, ketchup, a piece of lettuce, some caviar, and a Kit-Kat candy bar.
1. Take a shot aquavit.
2. Take two. (They're small.)
3. Put a bit of caviar on a bit of lettuce.
4. Put the lettuce on a cracker.
5. Squeeze some lemon juice on the caviar.
6. Pour some ketchup on the Kit-Kat bar.
7. Tie the dishtowel around your eyes.
If you can taste the difference between caviar on a cracker and ketchup on a Kit-Kat while blindfolded, you have not had enough aquavit to be ready for lutefisk. Return to step one.
The first real sign of trouble was when a plate arrived and was set in front of my host, sitting to my left. It contained a collection of dark and aromatic food stuffs of a variety of textures. Having steeled myself for an encounter with a pale jelly, I was puzzled at its appearance, and I leaned over to get a better look.
"Oh," said my host, "that's not lutefisk. I changed my mind and ordered the juletid plate. Its is pork and sausages."

I was planning on starting with the rest of the kids in the area (Aug 7). I had all the books, except for one - and it's still backordered. I just wasn't ready emotionally to start yet.
We had just done some heavy genealogy for a family reunion in July, and we have another reunion this weekend that I have been getting ready for, as well. So, I just postponed school until Sept 5th. (I am such a geek. Last night I bought one of those 1gig USB flash drives to store all my genealogy data so I can update it and save pictures, documents, and such when I am not at home.)
That's too bad about C. Our new group, SAIL, is doing very well. I am amazed at how well it's doing in it first official month!

Let me just say when you have to count down from, say, 230, that sucks.
Counting down from 9 ain't so bad.

So... my graduate courses started this weeks. I'm doing a satellite campus/distance learning program thing. The professor they scare up to teach my little economics course is a doctoral candidate at George Mason Univ. "Neat!," says I. "You wouldn't happen to know Dr. Walter E. Williams..." "Why of course! He's one of my professors," says the professor. Teeheee. I feel like I was in the presence of greatness especially since every other bullet in the lecture was a W.E.W. quote. :) :) :) :) :)
