Back to work

Potioncat enters the office and goes straight to the coffee corner. She 
sets up a very large pot of strong, aromatic coffee, a pot of water, 
and tray of teas, (nothing weak or decaf). She brings out a basket of 
autumn breads and an assortment of other goodies, including this new 
delight, cockroach clusters:

Be sure and save one of those for Dot.

Looks like lots of the crew have been reading. I'll have to set the 
list aside for future. I'm reading the Narnia series. No, I don't 
recommend it, but I'm held hostage by an 11 year old. He played the 
wicked queen's evil minion in a play and now we have to read the books. 
They are amusing for their parallel to HP. (A boy named Digory [CSL's 
spelling] is tricked into grasping a ring and is whisked away to 
another place and sees a green light.) So far I've found Bella, 
Hermione, Stan and Dumbledore. 

I did read part of "Coffee, A Dark History". Did you know the Boston 
Tea Party was organized at a coffe house? Think about it. Life, Liberty 
and the Pursuit of Happiness may have come about because it was to some 
merchant's advantage to encourage a boycott on tea. 

What a holiday it's been! I'd just finished cataloguing the Weasley 
clock and didn't it come up right away in HBP! From the looks of the 
current site, we're going to need a bigger section for Snape topics.  
Droobles Best Blowing Gum isn't go to be so much fun to review now, but 
chess and gobstones might take a new slant. 

I have 3.11--3.14 (I think) I've put my name by the sections I'm 
actually working on. Should anyone who moves a bit quicker want to take 
one of the other headings, feel free to put your name down. If not, I'm 
working my way to them.

The large clock on the wall began to ring, chime, alarm and actually 
vibrate. The hands were pointing to "Time for work!" 

Potioncat: who is very glad Kelly was safe and very sorry to hear about 
her home.
