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!
and thats different from any other time and place... how?...
I s’pose we could post pictures of what we ~think~ you look like. In fact I faxed something to Hair last night...well, maybe not.
To paraphrase osage, I’m glad you’re with him. Yer good people.
Both of yuh.
Hey there... I’d missed that osage was up there with you.
You two stay out of trouble now. ;~)
ha!!! I'll try not tuh let osage be a bad 'fluence on me...
Ask him why he shaved off his sideburns when we were in Aruba in the early '80's. It's a funny story.
Just took Gyps for her walk. Brrrr, it's cold and clammy out there.
It’s not you I’m worried about ;~)
A story that ~sadly~ must be shared:
Last night Jr. went over to a friend’s house to watch the football game. Not long after he left, he calls me and says “I lost my key.”
He’s only got one key to the Honda in spite of the fact that I’ve told him to get another made.
I said “where are you?”
“Josh’s house.”
“Then the key is there with you. Get a flashlight and find it.”
Apparently he did because he came home. But honestly, how much does it take to figure that out on your own?
Wife said, “He needs you and turns to you when there’s a crisis.”
I said, “I’m tired of being needed.”
*snort*... he just told me...
Either that or he learned how to hotwire a car last night.
Either way... he’s learning valuable life skills :~)
You should take him to a seaside bar and let someone shanghai him for a year or two. I bet that would help.
OK - now tell us :~)
he shaved his silver sideburns to keep from being eaten by barracudas...
He did ~not~ get carded at Hooters last week. Fortunatley he was with his uncle who said “bring him a Coke.”
you’ll stop being needed when you’ve been forgotten...
if’n he needs a dose of reality and life skills, send him out here fer a few months...
LOL!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Hooters... great wings...
I've suggested that on more than one occasion. We ~are~ working on an internship for him with a major Christian music festival in early summer. We know the director and the chairman of the board.
Hard work. Safe environment. And contact with some really cool Christian bands.
That's what I keep tellin' the Mrs...
and
mine
