The Hobbit Hole IV – The Road Goes Ever On…

Posted on 08/04/2003 9:43:18 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

The Road Goes Ever On…

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

The Loving Months

Are May & June
the only months
love can live
or can it be as
oxidized silver...
Drawn out from
a drawer,
cleaned, buffed
to a new brilliance?
Can this happen
for an old love
whose fire lies cold?
Or is it best to leave
old, cold ashes
resting undisturbed
as the dead?

Good night! I have a training class tomorrow, so I won't be around much. Will pop in when I can.

Good night Hair! ;-D

Good morning! Thought I'd get the first post on the first full day of HHIV before heading off to work. It's rainy here. I'm not looking forward to today. See you all tonight!

Good morning to you, too!

Got a busy one here. Just last week when I was crowing about publishing before our resident strange guy, I decided to double check a teensy-tiny wittle detail in a computer model. It was like pulling a thread on a sweater- the whole thing unraveled. I now have three huge cans of worms to work through- could take days, could take months.

I'm never gonna publish *sniff*.

But I am going to go register for another grad school pre-req today. Yaaaay! (I think.)

School starts in three weeks. Don't know if I'm looking forward to it or not. I love taking classes but I'll have no time at all once it starts...

But seriously... For many many guys (all the decent guys, anyway) making the first move to express interest in a girl is really hard to do. Most of the time it almost requires some hint of interest on the girls' part to get us over the hurdle. Even a smile or some eye contact, but better yet some idle chitchat...

Thanks...here's hoping there's some interest on his side! I've been rehearsing about a zillion scenarios for the conversation with his sister and/or a conversation with him. Hopefully ONE of them will stay in my mind when I'm there Saturday. If nothing else, honest blurting may get me somewhere, I dunno!

That was one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard a husband say of his wife...she must be quite special...does she proof read your posts?

She IS very special and no, she does not proofread my posts. ;^)

Hearing the way g'nad speaks of you inspired me. ;^)

Mornin' all

Jen congrats on the first post of the day.

Lil and Jen, I'm really pulling for you on that grad school! One of the reasons that I took this job and moved 200 miles from home was the opportunity to finish and get just my bachelors. I haven't done anything about that yet, but I did get accepted into the school here.

2J, letters from chaplain! Have we got a new guy's name yet? I was trying to read the emails from yesterday and discern whether we had a new contact or not but it wasn't clear.

I'm not. I have more to say. But, just getting going this morning. I can't believe it got hot and muggy for you. All winter I've been cringing at your temps!
