Now I wish I had a blog to do this :-( although it is rather frivolous.

Rubert, Rubes, and Rubix-Cube are somewhat derogatory names for you.

What is halfchaps?

And rootbear! Oh that makes me think ... "he wanted that beer and he wanted it bad....."

Halfchaps are "clothing" or "gear" that riders use on their lower leg when they ride. They are usually leather or something like that, and zip up the sides. They protect the shins and the thin layer of skin between the bone and the saddle from getting pinched and stuff like that. :)

But I enjoy being called them. :)

Yes, that was good. :)

"A Hobbit's tale"? For some reason, You really don't strike me as 3 feet tale and a pipe smoker. on second thought, you are taller than me. And I will continue the tagging process over at homeschool.mysawdust.com.
Did you or did you not do a post on the merits of of rootbeer? Oh, that was Ryan. ;-)

Oh my James! for some reason it just isn't right looking up at a girl! :-( There is one girl I know who towers above me and I don't like it one bit. I keenly feel your pain friend....

Yes, that was me who penned the remarkable poem on Ruby's Rootbear Revel. Delightful memories.

James -
Well... it's a term of speech, okay? I guess I refer to myself as living more of a hobbit's life instead of being an actual hobbit. :) Is Durin's Day today? I couldn't figure out when it was. :P

Ryan -

Are you calling your poem remarkable?

Yeeeeees Rubert, let us ratiocinate. You readily remarked on its risibility. It was recalcitrant, recitativo, recapitulative, and redolent of a little rotund rarity. It was remarkably Ryan.

At least it was more remarkable than your piano piece at your book study last month ..... A rubix-cube works best when BOTH hands are at work, Rubers. Tootles.

Well, if you are so self-confident... I shall leave you in your state of "blissful pride."

I don't remember that?!
