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!
My HairoftheDog character last year was going to be Piulinda Smellingham, but she didn't like the name, so I had to change it.
It's probably her fault I didn't finish last year.
How goes the packing?
Pretty good.... but I don’t know what I’m forgetting!
You just made my day.
I'm going to enjoy my lunch savoring the idea that I'm not annoying after all. Might be news to my officemates, but still...
I bet if we asked our historian, he could find a post on this very thread where you told Rosie she could buy anything she forgot.
I'm just sayin' is all. ;-)
How long are you gone? Since this is a trail-moot are you taking the horses? Do they make little horse carriers like they have for dogs and cats? Or will you have to hold them on your lap?
Heh...on the other hand, if you come up with some truly annoying ones, let me know. ;-)
And you could probably go to the store and buy a PNW salmon :~) 
Not traveling with horses, they have to stay here. I'll be riding one of Becky's horses. I wish I could hold Bay on my lap but it's just not practical. :~)
Not a fresh one.
*tries to picture your old A-rab horse on a plane*
Yeah, I’m thinking that wouldn’t work too well...many, many terribly scary things along the way. Like big white flappy tags for marking where bags are supposed to go. He’d never make it even past baggage checking.
It’s true! Travel insurance: Knowing that there’s nothing you can forget to take on a trip that you can’t buy at Walmart.
HA! You’re right... lots of flappy things :~D
Heh...Walmart’s in Oklahoma probably do have a horse section.
;-)
Clare and her friends really enjoyed the Ghibli museum!
Your opinions please. Does this qualify as a “2J Encounter?”
I walked down to Subway at lunch. The express kiosk was down, so I got in the back of a fairly long line.
As I was walking to the end of the line this woman was all smiles. You know the smile of recognition. She was wondering if the line would be worth it, but just had a taste for an Italian sub. She was all bubbles and giggles until she took a glance at my I.D. tag.
Then there was this deer-in-the-headlights look that said “Oh crap, I have no idea who this person is.”
We were in line for another 5-10 minutes. She never made eye contact again.
That's when I stopped talking to people. :P
More disturbingly, this apparently means there’s a Corin twin wandering around somewhere...the Anti-Corin. Eek!
Nah, she probably just recognized me from my picture at the Post Office.
Heh, that’s a good one!
Hmmm....
Talon’s away....
