Oh the shame.

First and foremost, I have to state that I am, like many, deeply disappointed that an upstanding news vehicle (the New York Times) dared publish Harry Potter plot spoilers of the latest installment of the series. Shame shame shame. Fortunately, most HP fans in my circle refuse to indulge this lack of integrity I can only find paralleled in common tabloid publications. Dangle that carrot if you must, but the hunger will only be quelled by the literary feast the author offers to her devoted fans in just a few days.

Homegrown

That's right, I grew the flower all by myself. I'm very pround of my little marigold.

It's been a long time since I've blogged -- not for lack of content, but of time. Work has picked up and the weather has been so darn nice that we've been trying to spend as much time as possible outside. I've also started reading a really thought provoking book called "Parenting Beyond Belief." It's a collection of essays about raising honest and loving children without indoctrining them into a specific dogma. I hope to blog more about the subject and essays as I delve further into the book.

More soon.
