Now Me (Tonya):
I want to say I am having a great time!!  I love the books and I love
that so far none of my predictions have come true.  JKR keeps me
guessing.  There is enough real life that I am hoping that Harry will
defeat the Dark Lord and his relationships with his friends will get
stronger.  He is learning and growing and living!!  I am very excited to
stay on the roller coaster ride that JKR is steering!!  I am sitting in
my big fluffy chair with my feet up and reading and my kids are reading.
I don't think that life gets any better then RIGHT NOW!!  Hear, hear to
JKR!!  She is one of my heroes!!  I only read the speculations that I
want to read so if I find one that I don't agree with then I don't read
it!!  I love listening to everyone's ideas here.  I have learned more
about the books by broadening my perspective.  I listen then go read
them again and new doors open!!  Thanks to everyone here for making
Harry Potter even better!!  OK I am done now!!  Sorry for getting up on
the soap box.
 
Happy Reading, Tonya
