The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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!

I know Christmas was three weeks ago, but do you think I can exchange my family without a receipt?

There's probably a reality show for that kind of thing.

I'm in.

Mrs. is on her way back from a meeting in Virginia Beach. We thought Jr. had a four o'clock class, so Luke was supposed to go to the nayber's.

I called Jr. on my way home and told him I was pickin' up Luke then goin' to the store.

"Luke's been here since 4:00."

Fortunately Jr. didn't have his class today.

Nayber did check on him and Jr. said it was okay he was home.

Luke has been reminded that he never leaves the bus stop without an adult.

You guys still up?

I just got home. I’m tired, but had a good shift.

Came out of the hospital to find my car covered in a layer of ice. Lovely. Stayed another 15 minutes waiting for the car to heat up and scraping ice off my window.

Thanks for the update on Mack, Hair.

I just got done with decon. My hair is still wet.

I’m enjoying what my son would call an “ex-squeeze-it beaver-age”. (An exquisite beverage...in this case a brandy and coke, from the brandy left over from the cherries jubilee we had for Christmas.)

Where are you? I don’t guess I know!

I know where everyone else is in the Hole...some even how to drive to their homes...but I don’t even think I know what state you are in.

Do I?
