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!

*sigh*

Can't do anything about it. The couch cover is soggy and still in the busted dryer.

Heh...I don't have spares.

It's OK. This couch is pretty...well loved. A little hair isn't gonna hurt it. And I have a lint roller to use on it anyway.

Sure seems that way!

A break of sun that lasts more than ten minutes or so would be awful nice.

Actually, we did have a bit of sun, *after* we got thenewdesk home today...in a torrential downpour. Go figger.

Watched a Nicholas Cage movie.

Which one? We watched The Missing, starring Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett.

"Actors PORTRAY intelligent people -- that doesn't make them smart -- just look at their politics!"

Yes, that's for sure. OTOH, I've always thought well of Connery...'course I did read an article about him not too long ago here on FR in which a member of the public who was in the same hotel as him referred to Connery as fat, rude and drunk!

Heh...I'm so keyed up, I can't get to sleep!

I had never driven a Bug before...I've only ridden in one twice, for just a short distance.

You should hear the horn beep on that neighbor's car...it makes a classic beep beep sound! I hope mine sounds as good.
I have so much to tell that I don't know where to begin and should probably just tell it once on the blog anyway.

Family Man.

It's a kind of backwards "It's a Wonderful Life"...I really like it.

It shows a bunch of scenes with the WTC in the background...that's kind of heartbreaking. I think the character actually works in them.

And at one point it shows him charging through the airport and rushing right up to the female co-star in line to get on the plane. Very obviously pre-911.

Connery's too old to spend all that money before he departs this vale of tears.

Hey Hair. :)

I couldn't see Sean playing Gandalf. In my mind, I would be seeing James Bond.

I didn't know Ian in any films before LOTR, so that helped in seeing him as Gandalf.

Did that make any sense? LoL

Good morning!

Just in from a brisk 2-miler with Jack. I'm trying to atone for the previous days' excesses, he's just along for the walk-run. It's chilly out!

Such a goofball.
