Charles De Lint HP references

[voicelady at mymailstation.com]

Hello, all.  Emerging from deep dark lurkdom because I found something that
made me chuckle.

I am currently reading one of Charles De Lint's recent short story collections
called "Tapping the Dream Tree".  In one of the stories is a pragraph which
reads:

<<I stare out the kitchen window.  It looks out over the backyard and from my
second-floor vantage I can see almost all the way down the block, a narrow
quilt of backyards.  A big orange cat is crying outside of Mrs. Rowling's back
door, trying to scrounge a meal.  Mr. Potter is weedking his garden again -
like a weed would dare make an appearance among his flowers and vegetables.>>

Anyway, I certainly enjoyed the references, and got a grin out of them.  I
hope you all did, too.   If anyone is currently looking for a good read,
anything of De Lint's is very good.

Thanks for your time.
