The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

You might be interested in my complete annotated catalog of P.D.Q. Bach's works then. Yet another one of my sites that is still under construction, LOL. This took me a couple years to compile, and I'm kind of proud of it.

Have you ever seen him in concert? I got to see him with the Phoenix Symphony once (they played "Wachet Arf", the Hindenburg Concerto, and the Concerto for Bassoon vs. Orchestra. I think the only time I have laughed harder was the first time I saw The Holy Grail. Saw him with Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra last year too. Only half of that concert was P.D.Q., though - they played Art of the Ground Round and Oedipus Tex.

I was watching the news for a little while this morning, but just couldn't take it any more. Such a horrible tragedy.

My wife was almost there last night. Her friend had asked her on Monday if she wanted to go. Jess initially said yes, but then I found out Tuesday that I had to stay late to work with some of the night students on Thursday. So, she decided not to go. Thankfully.

Man...this is just bad all over.

Don't say the Middle East in the Hobbit Hole... it causes the hall monitors to run about imploring all of us to "just get along." :)

That reminds of advice that Dear Abby gave someone who wanted to be a doctor. His family was opposed because it would take 10 years and he would be 50. Abby said, "so what, you're going to be 50 in 10 years anyway."

What is the graduate program you hope to get into?

Actually, I was reading some of Hair's posts regarding the refinery. She's turning into a right good terrorism analysis. She was a voice of reason.
