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!

Urgh. don't get me started.

I gave a great, super-last minute briefing today. Word came thru the grapevine that the recipients were raving about it hours later. rah rah me.

Then certain powers that be get all hot and bothered because they didn't get to review the slides first. Nevermind they were in a mtg all morning and entirely unavailable and nevermind they have seen and approved every slide before (it was a cut-n-paste chop-job, but durn good). Urgh.

Ungh.

I spent all morning twiddling my thumbs and trying to figure out if the previous temp *ever* tested the code he wrote (answer: no. He also used gotos). Then in the afternoon every two minutes I had these two accountant chicks bugging me because I hadn't put the logic in to the macro I wrote them last week that handled Canadian accounts. Of course it was incredibly obvious that Canadian accounts would do X and require Y and need Z enacted before that, how stupid could I be?

But is it not also from . .

I always think of this place as a conversation, and speaking the name of "The Scottish Play", is bad luck, so "break a leg"! Maybe why you almost had your email accident -- bad luck in advance!

He also used gotos.

The use of GOTO in VB (or any other third-generation or higher language) is a classic sign of a stolid, unimaginative mind.

The previous temp sounds like a dip.

WooHooo!! We're up to .68" of rain for the day--maybe I can throw some grass seed out tomorrow (after I get back from the Republican Headquarters, more mailings tomorrow for our local candidate, don't cha know). Anything to beat the Dem candidate like a drum (I've had dealings with him in my former life)

We've been getting a steady rain...haven't been out to check the gauge. I need to get some topsoil to fill in the bobcat tracks before putting out seed. I'm probably too late for this season.

Forcing bulbs is not too hard; just be sure to read the directions. I've done amaryllis and paper white narcissus.
