The kids are almost in Paris; one hour and twenty minutes until landing. You gotta love flight tracking. After Allan and I got back from the airport and ate dinner, I started reading the latest Harry Potter book. (No link, because really.) I'm thinking of the French word for "the latest," le dernier, which is also the same as "the last." It really is le dernier Harry Potter. And dayum, it's GOOD!
Speaking of good, the four of us saw The Simpsons Movie last night. You have to be impressed by a movie that can make a Nine-Year-Old, a Twelve-Year-Old, a Hurtling-Toward-OMG!-Forty-Year-Old, and an AARP member all laugh. And at the same stuff!
OK. It's 2 am. I've got some wizards to attend to.
I read it all in one sitting. Or one "lying down." I was recovering from a spinal procedure and Harry got me through the sheer boredom.
Hope you enjoy it!

fabulous!

I still haven't started Harry. I want to be able to read it uninterrupted and there are just too many things going on in the next couple of weeks that would distract me. Everyone I know who has read it has taken a Code of Silence so that's good.
And, yes, flight tracking is awesome!

When did you join AARP?

I'm just starting 6, since I caught the craze late. They are spell-binding. I'm a member of AARP also, Allan! And I love the Simpsons, so I'm sure I'd love the movie.

Okay, I have to admit it... I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books. I do plan on borrowing them from my best friend's daughter, though. Perhaps some time soon I can get started on them.
My Dad and Stepmom went to see "The Simpsons" as well, on their own! No kids of any sort in tow. Seemed like a strange choice for them, but they said they really liked it.

I read the last HP, and was disappointed. I'm probably not the only one, but clearly my opinion isn't popular, so I'll keep my mouth shut.
I do want to see The Simpsons Movie, but I think we're going to wait until it shows up on Netflix. From what I've heard, it's a real hoot.
