I'm back! I couldn't find the words last night to write about Harry Potter 7.1  It was amazing. And it really defies review because it just is. There's no going wrong for this iconic story that is so much bigger than ink on a page or pixels on a screen. Judging by the audience in the theater last night, Harry Potter is a universal story which brings hope, joy and courage to people of all ages. It has and will help shape the character of my boys, and for that I am incredibly grateful. Have you seen the film? What is your response?

  1. I just finished working out.

    Why?

    The snarky answer is why not. The usual answer is get in shape. Or lose weight. A workout can clear the mind or relieve stress. Sometimes we do things out of habit... and just keep doing them for no other reason. Everyday can be different. As you approach each moment, why do you choose the path you choose? Even doing nothing is a choice. Sitting is a choice. But working out is certainly sweatier than sitting... so sitting is a less moist choice.

    Somedays the reason(s) for working out are clear straightforward and easy to see. Somedays it is a struggle. Or inconvenient.

    Today I worked out because I love my family. I want to be healthy and here for them and with them for as long as I have on this earth. That will do for today.

    And yes. That means no candy.

  3. I saw Harry Potter on Monday--loved it. Much better than HP #6, I thought. Can't wait for 7.2!
