Flexibility is key

Slight change of plans -- a visit with my sister in Washington before checking out Utah, Colorado, the Midwest and on to The South. I can't wait to get to where the thunderstorms and lightning bugs are, though.


I'll have to pick up the new Harry Potter book on my trip and find some peaceful place where I can sit and read for about eight straight hours.


I'm anticipating a quilt of experiences from this trip, rather than some kind of epiphany, though an "I get it" moment wouldn't be unwelcome.

yeah, I am pretty excited about the Harry Potter book as well. do you think she will kill him?

Lorena said...

I actually do. But I also thought Tony Soprano was going to get it in the end, and we all know how wrong I was about that!

The only epiphany I really care about is the true nature of Snape.

Unknown said...

No kidding. Snape's agenda is a mystery to me still. Maybe I'm alone suspecting this, but I don't think he killed Dumbledore. I think they were in cahoots somehow.

Hey Laura! Lori! Doreen? Whatever...

Good to see you are taking an adventure, you deserve one. Any chance of you diverting yourself farther north from Spokane to come to our hunk of this fair state?

Also, re: "Pott-ah"... I'm thinking it's Draco and or the entire Malfoy clan, and Hermione... or maybe Ron chivalrously defending her. Yeah, I'm going with Ron.

We'll know in a week.

Also, we know Kreecher is in the last book.

And yeah, perhaps Snape had to do something very difficult, which essentially would cost him his everlasting reputation. But perhaps he chooses the right side of the fight, even though he never winds up as someone who likes "Pott-ah"...

We'll see.

And the more I think about it, Tony is dead.

And the more I think about it, Curley Joe was the worst decision the Stooges ever made.

Someone, OK, it was Ana, offered this is a theory: What if the liquid Dumbledore drank to get at the locket actually turned him into a horcrux? Then it would be likely that he and Snape were in on it and Snape had to destroy him.

Also, what if Harry's scar is a horcrux?

Here in the hood, we call it a ho' crux.

The Everett 'hood? That's a pretty dangerous place to hang out!
