Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I have a few spoiler-free comments. I’ll warn you before I actually get to the spoilers. The book came at quarter to seven last night and I read about 210 pages before I went to bed. I started on the rest a little after two this afternoon, whilst keeping Scooter company, and just finished the […]

First, a Scooter Update

Scooter is home. I picked her up from the vet earlier today. I’d love to tell you she’s feeling fine, but she isn’t. However, she is thrilled to be home. I spent some time with her, then left her alone for a short time to do a few errands. She cannot walk all that well, […]

Even More Scooter News :(

First, see previous post from yesterday. I had an appointment today at 4pm to pick up Scooter and take her home. This appointment was made yesterday because Dr. Child was confident Scooter would be in better shape and able to go home. Friday afternoon is not the time to go to a vet’s office. After […]

Scooter News :(

Scooter has been losing a little bit of weight — mostly eating a bit less. But otherwise, she has been behaving normally. Just this morning she jumped up on the table and had a try at my breakfast — something she normally does. She still jumps all over, and is generally active and cantankerous. Her […]

Predictions for Potter in the Deathly Hallows

In a previous post, I gave my theory of Dumbledore, but numb-nuts couldn’t find it, so I’ll put the link here. He was put out that I hadn’t given my theory of what’s happening in the final book. We will hear from Dumbledore in some form (see previous post) Hagrid will die. He’s the big […]

The Last of Photos For Now

Today I have posted the last 12 photos on my Flickr account. In a previous post, I explained the project. Again, I encourage you to add any comments/notes to the photos if you remember something that I didn’t, especially when it comes to identifying people. If it became a group project, that would be fine, […]

Appleism (Apple Becomes a Religion)

I use StumpleUpon regularly, and it dropped me into a blog which has a fascinating post. I’m sorry it took me so long to blog it, but here it is. David Kuo writes a rather interesting piece entitled “Welcome to Appleism, the religion that is Apple.” I don’t want to spoil it all here without […]

Here We Go Again: More Photos II

Today I have posted another 16 photos on my Flickr account. In a previous post, I explained the project. With over 3,000 photos. That is not a typo. I am still looking at EVERY SINGLE one and picking the best, but I should be done in the next few days. The response from friends has […]

Update on Dad II

A number of you have written asking for the latest update on dad. On the plus side, he’s definitely doing better. There is no question of that. He is also definitely not cured. I’d love to tell you he’s in remission, but he isn’t. However the news he got was good news. Only one mass […]

Here We Go Again: More Photos

Today I have posted another 18 photos on my Flickr account. In a previous post, I said that I sent all my photos and negatives in to be digitized. These come from the second batch that was returned. There are some priceless photos in here, and they are making me happy and sad and sentimental […]
