Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

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!

I really like the ET camera view. You can see the RCS puffs as they separate.

Yeah ... and you can see Earth, receding.

And the shuttle separates from the external tank!

I guess I'm legal...except for the odometer misreading thing. ;-)

I get my actual license in a week, but I have a temporary.

Back home they print it right there...but maybe that means they're not hard to forge.

Congratulations you two. We think it's wonderful that you have found each other, and are being joined as one in God's name.

We wish we could be there to share this day.

mrsnad and I were reminiscing about our wedding day... the little white church, packed with family and friends... the horse drawn carriage ride... drunken Marines dancin' on tables... birdseed inside of mrsnad's dress...
