Hi --

Neil -- I love that you found HP fans that helped liven up your business
meetings!

I do have my own amusing HP moment from yesterday to share.  I do a
volunteer shift at a local genealogy library, and an older guy works the
same shift I do.  He was showing me a map reference he'd found recently
and what I thought I heard him say was this "Lord Voldemort had all this
land over here . . . ."  I sat there for a few moments thinking.  "Has
he read HP & he's mistakenly said Voldemort instead of something else?
Is there a real Lord Voldemort from American history?"  Finally, I asked
him to repeat what he'd said.  "Lord Baltimore."  I have HP on the brain
too much -- clearly.

Ebony -- I'm glad you shared your back-to-school experiences with us
(btw, congrats on your promotion -- don't know if I'd told you yet or
not).  To the people who've asked (can't wait until we have the FAQs
done), the Farmer in the Dell (FITD) theory is this:

Ron likes Hermione
Hermione likes Harry
Harry likes a third party or noone

You know (The farmer in the dell, The farmer in the dell, Hi-ho, the
derry-o, The farmer in the dell.
The farmer takes a wife, The farmer takes a wife, Hi-ho, the derry-o,
The farmer takes a wife.
blah blah blah
The rat takes the cheese, The rat takes the cheese, Hi-ho, the derry-o,
The rat takes the cheese.
The cheese stands alone, The cheese stands alone, Hi-ho, the derry-o,
The cheese stands alone.)

Yeah, I did have to look up the actual rhyme but I knew the gist of it.
<g>

NY Times -- Thanks Heidi for that link!!!  And, thanks to Voicelady for
her support!!  Now, if I could just persuade Voicelady & our other
NY'ers to go meet face to face with Mr. McGrath . .  .

> Trina (who relates to Hermione beyond belief)
>
Me too Trina!!!

The wife takes a child,
The wife takes a child,
