I went out and judged the trail ride with only a minimum of whining about being in the woods when the Harry Potter book was delivered to my parents’ house. We got back there on Sunday at about 4:00 and I immediately shut myself into my old room and started reading. I was surprised at how fast it went. I got up to go to the bathroom once and once to get ice cream and I was done with the book by 9:45. Then I didn’t know what to do with myself since I was planning on being up all night reading. I wanted a full discussion of the book but didn’t have any other fans there.

My dad knew what happened because all the major plot points were published in the Sunday paper. They were published upside down with warnings all around them but it still seems odd.

So now it is back to real life. I came home last night to a trashed house and I have company coming tonight so I have to go clean.
