finished

Finally got to read Half Blood Prince yesterday. Pretty intense. I hate spoilers and don't even like to think ahead and try to figure out plot points as I go, so I greatly appreciated Georg's advice not to read the chapter headings in advance. In fact, I got so into the book that I didn't even read them as I was going.

Yesterday I talked to a client who had been away on vacation. Turns out he took his grandson to a Harry Potter week in England! He said they wore robes, rode broomsticks, and played Quidditch! I was so charmed by the whole concept that I didn't think to ask him what he meant about the broomsticks. The trip was timed to the release of the new book, so the grandson could read it on the plane back. Now that is cool.

Meanwhile Thirteen's third acupuncture session is in about an hour. It does seem to be making her more comfortable, though the heat has been so awful that I haven't been able to test her mobility by taking her on walks. Every year the heat affects her more. I'm really glad we have that water bed for her.
