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.

Does everyone here have access to the Yahoo Hobbit Hole? Maybe it'd be a good time to put up the invitation again.

Yeah - It occurred to me that they are clearly only renting by the week. I suppose that means that any *extra days* would be *before* entmoot, rather than *after* like I asked in the poll, if they rent by a Mon-Sun "week".

No matter! - I will be spending some extra days in the state somewhere, and if a few folk can come along to Disney and Kennedy and such, all the better!

Entmoot is in peak season.

I forgot about that when I was looking. I'm used to January being the off season. So I think it means that, contrary to nature, we'll have to be hasty about this decision...

Don't forget he just turned 14. And he'll be almost 15 by then (YIKES!).

But yes, he'll be awake long after all of us are in dreamland...

Ha! A couple of weeks ago (Dwarf-Moot weekend), he had a Middle School Youth Group "Lock-In." He got about 20 minutes of sleep. Mom picked him up at 7:30 a.m. He came home, played a while on the computer and went to bed.

When he woke up at about 7:00 p.m., we realized he had slept through baseball practice...

If we could find something like this near Melbourne, it would be nice!

That looks like a great deal. But it also looks like we'd have to behave too much. Still the thought of dwarf-dipping in the private pool...

:-)

But Hair is right, we need to know how many people we're planning for.

Aren't you the Master Event Planner Extraordinaire? We should put you in charge.

Well, since I haven't been able to find a job doing that for over nine years, I'm not sure you could really call me that anymore...

I'm happy to do what I can. But I'm almost thinking you might want to check out any location before we book. Plus, it may be easier for us to send bucks to Florida for the deposit. But maybe not. Can we put that much into Paypal?

Ideally, I'd like to see us have a big ol' place, do the three movies on Saturday and have dinner at the place on Saturday night, rather than eating out. I know you've graciously offered your home, but some would really like to have pints and then you've got them wimmin what can't give up their pipeweed...

Just like a Dwarf to say something like that! LOL!

Once we have a good and proper head count, we'll be in better shape to make arrangements.

We could really scare him and tell him that all of us will go with him to his church on Sunday... and just *try* to behave!

Ruthy, WNeighbor and I are pentecostal. We'd have to clap...
