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! |

Heh...today I've worked in yet another item that does *nothing* for the overall plot: dealing with condescending, paperwork-happy bureaucrats and their useless, useless paperwork.
For additional detail and colorful language, maybe I'll call my Dad and egg him on a bit...

We'll have to keep an eye on the warnings for the Deschutes and the Chehalis... might be worth a trip to go look :~)
To: Corin Stormhands
Have y'all BOTH considered sitting this Christmas show out, and just enjoying watching it from the audience? No need to pile another layer of stress.

We've had a lovely sunny day, but it's cold. And we have no furnace because SirKit didn't get it connected before we left for our trip South. We had some electric heaters in our room and in Joseph's last night, and today we had a fire in the fireplace and baked a pie.
Fixing to go to Mass, then the guys will get the furnace going tonight; at least the downstairs one. The upstairs one will have to wait another day or two. Fortunately, it will warm up a little later in the week; unfortunately with the warmth will come the rain.

We consider not doing it just about every year. But at the same time, it's just something we do. The show itself isn't always the stress factor. And we do like being with our friends.
We did talk about skipping next year, but that will be the first year Luke can be in it. So we'd be there all the time anyway.
That said, the DVD from last year should be out soon. We're seeing the "premiere" at a local cinema on Wednesday.

To: JenB
Well...I'm off to try to find that place. If I do find it...I'll be twenty minutes early, but I have a feeling I'm going to do some driving in circles. And the whole area is a maze of one-way streets.
Ungh.
On the bright side, if it's *not* horribly hard to get to, I'll have another coffee house to add to my file of nice-places-to-hang-out.

OK, I'm feeling a good bit of righteous indignation right now. I did finally find the coffee house, after running in circles for half an hour - it was on a side street by the town transit center, and the directions I had didn't work well.
It's pouring rain. POURING. Hard to see, and my van was sliding a bit in places. If I'd know it was that bad, maybe I wouldn't have tried it.
And I get there, and it's closed. Big closed sign in the window, no lights on, no cars around.
I'm getting less and less impressed with our ML as the days go on.
On the bright side, I guess I wouldn't have wanted to drive home in that rain after dark anyway. But...that was a waste of nearly an hour of my day. I'm ticked off.

Aw, man....
We just spent the entire day replacing a toilet. Three trips to Lowes later and it's done. We have l33t plumbing skillz now.
Notice my word count has not increased today... but it's time to play with pirate ships.

I got in a bunch of writing, but I'm stuck again, mostly because I'm trying to decide if it's absolutely necessary to the plot for secondary main guy to have a kid out of wedlock. I don't like it, but since his later wife is something of a gold digger (though he doesn't see it), it may be required.
Ungh...toilets. I need to fix one of mine, but I've been putting off buying the kit.

I'm officially tired of rain.
And we have what, about 177 days to go?
