Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
This is the wrong place to say that distance means there's no chance for a relationship :-)
Seriously have you considered giving that Catholic site a(nother?) try? I understand it's gotten a lot bigger in the last few years... could be some nice guys in your area who just assume all the local girls are insane and don't bother trying any more.
Distance can work...but you need more to base it on than a two minute conversation, like I said.
I've kind of stayed on that site, but haven't really seen anyone. And folks I do write to don't write back, so I dunno that that's a good means for me.
Who knows, though, maybe something will happen out of the blue. You never know.
Well, that is good news, bad news and news, congrats on the secret handshake.
Yeah, out of the blue is kind of how these things always happen. Just... unless you want "out of the blue" to literally be some naked guy falling from the sky like in Rose's suggestion last year then keep an eye out on sites like that ;-)
Spent the last day in San Francisco, but we had the baby along and she wasn't feeling great, so we mostly just walked around the neighborhood where Ben and Anne first met and where John lived for a while. Kinda fun seeing places I've heard about for years, and after the hectic weekend before that, it was pleasant.
We shopped for some little things to leave in the apartment for John and Aletheia when they get back from their honeymoon...ended up getting a decent bottle of champagne and a box of See's chocolates and left it on the table with glasses laid out. I wrote a note for them with a toast.
Picture this:
It's a long holiday weekend (Christmas?), and Hair and ecurbh have taken off for a winter getaway at the beachhouse. Rosie is there with the dogs and the cats and the horses and a mild case of the sniffles.
The weather has suddenly turned very bad. It's twilight (short days up yonder), and Rosie's just climbed her steps after settling the horses. Just as she opens the door, a man rushes up the steps behind her and tackles her from behind, pushing her through the door and landing atop her on the floor.
He's not quite naked --- he's wearing a pair of those oh-so-very sexy boxer briefs --- but that's all he's wearing. No socks, no shoes, and no shirt ... oh, my! It's Dr. "Eye" Candy, Ph.D., on the run from bad guys and in need of some first aid and a good woman ...
And then, sadly, Dr. Candy was stabbed in the heart with a Hobbit Hole knife...
Rosie doesn't take kindly to guys jumping her in the dark. ;-)
What does that comment mean anyway?
You need to resolve to post more often so they don't think I've accidentally poisoned you with my cooking and am just pretending to be living happily in Iowa.
You fight desperately, leaving mud and blood and beer all over your once-clean floor. He finally slams your hand (left or right?) against a wall, causing you to drop the knife.
He grabs it, closes it, and throws it out the door ... then slumps against said door, barely conscious.
Now why would I want them to think *urk!*
At which point Cisco rips out his throat.
Well, you are going to be 30 next month, I guess I'd better be extra careful to make sure you don't start having heart attacks ;-p
A guy like that gets shot around these parts... unromantic as that sounds!
Someone watched "24" last night. :-P
And then I sneak out the back door over to Hair and ecurbh's, hopefully find a gun or crowbar or some such thing, and off him before he comes to.
That's about it...
Right on all three counts .. have you written romance novels before?<smile>
Hmm I don't see how to get out of this scene without blowing up the house.
The bad guys know he's somewhere in the Olympia area ... but there's a whole lotta places to look ... and the storm's about to hit ...
