The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

She did that all before work this morning. Yeah, but you are going blow us all away tomorrow with a day off and we will never catch up.

Thanks for the very positive update. It was the good news I was waiting for.

My next task will be to pray that g’nad gets well enough to still make deer hunting season.] this year.

At least you got 2000 words already. It took me a month to get that far in my current story.

Crazy day here...definitely no writing. I’ll have a grand total of about an hour to write tonight.

I’m thinking I’ll be lucky to make 1000 today. So if anyone wants to feel better about their progress...

FR does not do double click detection.

What? You didn't know about machine-gun spamming?

Back when we were on dial-up, I could get 10-15 clicks in, easy...

Congratulations! Knock 'em dead!

*snork*

This is why I don’t have a betta at home, though I’d love to have one on my desk. ;-)

Home just long enough to feed the dog and grab a sammich, and then I have to head out again. I’ve written a few paragraphs, at least. Victim is whining that her husband is a cheapskate.

Yeah, well...it could be worse, toots. And it will be. It willll be.

my current state of mind:

sammich

is spelled like Cannich which is a village, river, and Glen near my story's setting.

the "ch" is said "k"

sammik sammik sammik

just fwiw
