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.

Good luck on the rest of your life, g'nad! A lot of my family has been in the military. I think everyone who serves is a hero.

Hope whatever you decide to do suits you.

I've said it before, but I don't think it can be said enough: Thank you for your service!

Transitions are usually difficult... but with kids around you'll always have a worthwhile task to keep you busy. ;)

I'm off to take Rose to dinner and a movie... later all!

Congrats on your retirement g'nad...as I write this I'm preparing to go to a retirement party for a [former] co-worker of mine (Hah!...she's retiring today and I'm sort-of unemployed). The simple stuff does sound nice after the hard stuff (so, of course, I'm off chasing more difficult stuff again...never learn). What I'm discovering is that there are a million and one ways to bring in a little money, but usually we ignore a million of them and get all focused on one. You're in a good place, you can find that thing that you like doing regardless of whether you got paid for it.

At your service, g'nad.

It'll be the only time you'll see me encouragin' such behavior. Come fall, I'll be pleadin' the case of the deer.

thanks fer the wise words Scott... I've been courted by several companies, but there all exec jobs, wearin' a suit, stress, dealin' with stiffs... not interested... I was approached about a chief of staff job fer one of the GOP state reps (forget which one, honest)... I'm just not ready fer that now... a part time job at the trout hatchery or State Park sounds right up my alley... then, if I get masochistic, maybe substitute teachin'...
