To Hogwarts via the MTA

[justcarol67]

A friend of mine sent me this link to an article that he (rightly) thought I'd find amusing:

I'll include a tinyurl in case the long one gives us trouble:

On an unrelated note (except that it's a link), I spent nearly a day trying to locate an old URL, which I finally found in an e-mail message and was able to access using a website called the Wayback Machine (anyone besides me old enough to understand that reference?): 

http://web.archive.org/collections/web.html

Very useful website--Wish I'd known about it years ago.

For the curious, the archived website I managed to access--and download from--is a lovely interactive Advent calendar with Bible verses and screenshots from the 2008 film "The Nativity Story." Starting December 1, you click on the blinking star (it changes each day) and open a window for each day in Advent. The music is lovely, too, and can be changed if you get tired of it. Almost forgot to include the archived URL (the old one is inaccessible): http://web.archive.org/web/20061224142503/http:
//www.thenativitystory.com/advent-calendar.html

(You have to copy and paste the whole URL, two http's and all. I can supply a tinyurl if anyone needs it.)

Happy Advent (the four weeks before Christmas) to those who celebrate it.

Carol, also wishing a slightly early Happy Hanukkah those who celebrate it
