Ginger:
Oh, Shaun, might I join you?  It's over 90 Farenhiet here, with over 
70% humidity and slough skeeters that have been rumoured to carry off 
livestock, small children and unattended Volkswagons.  I finally broke 
down and bought AC, but just one big enough for one room.  

I have my book reserved at B&N, will be attending the festivities 
(callout to JoAnna:  Will you be there?) and returning to my home 
where I have cooked food for 2 days, have my chair ready with ashtray, 
cigs, spitoon (I bought a ton of cherries on sale), and several 
pitchers of beverages.  I will turn off the ringer, lock the door and 
remove myself from the rest of the world for the weekend.  

One thing I will *not* do, having learned my lesson with OoP, is read 
the dust jacket.  

I am probably the only one, but I wish we had a few more days as I 
have been too busy to do any rereads.  I will try and squeeze in the 
last chapters of OoP before I go.

Happy reading to you all, Ginger
