On the Way

I returned today from this past weekend celebrating my sister's b-day with her and Pauli and my two nephews Gilbert and Joe (and the "baby on the way") and my parents and Pauli's parents and our friends Nathan and Julie and their 7 kids (one of whom is Joshua, whom I have mentioned in here and posted excerpts from Potterial email conversations with him, and another of whom is his next youngest sister Elizabeth, who is a voracious reader and may have even outdone Sarah from Sarah and Beyond in how many times she has read each Potter book). I returned with a replenished arsenal of thoughts on things HP from conversations with Pauli and my sister and Nathan and Julie and Josh and Elizabeth. These thoughts will be appearing here soon (provided good ol' Pauli does not beat me to it). For today I have other things to accompplish so I'm just throwing this up as a teaser, but I am logging the post titles in a spreadheet of "posts to write" so I am sure not to forget any of the goodies. PS To whomever reads our blog ... these types of conversations are the life blood of a blog like this - so feel more than free to email Pauli or myself with anything that strikes you while reading any of the posts or other thoughts you have had that connect (we promise, you'll get credit - we're not into stealing people's ideas ... mainly we're more interested in the blog evidencing how many people are finding this type of stuff interesting and meaningful, and it being a meeting place for all these neat observations and ideas and showing how the diversity of people who enjoy it and the diversity of their thoughts on it show the really rich breadth of the works) ... or, if maybe its a brief thought, post a comment (we receive email notification of comments being posted, including the content, so we're sure to interact with comments as soon as we can!)
