Now that the Harry Potter sensation is coming to an end, I’d like to present my nominations for the the two heroes of the franchise: J.K. Rowling and Neville Longbottom.
J.K. Rowling is responsible for more kids reading more books than anyone else in the history of the world. She gets my deepest respect for pulling that off in this age.
If you were paying attention, Harry, Ron and Hermione just messed things up. Neville was the one who consistently got things right. I want to be like him.

I went back to see a movie for the second time last night. Unlike the first showing, I brought my wife along for this one. I was counting on her to let me know how it came out in case I slept through it again. Turns out that I did.
She couldn’t help. Because she slept through it too.

Went to see this with my wife last night. Just when it got to the part where our hero was trying to resolve that happiness requires action and constant effort, the guy behind me started talking and kicking the back of my seat. So I went and sat in the back row.
It made me happy.
My wife and I went to see Company (the Broadway Musical) at the movie theater tonight. Way cool … it just kept getting better and better.
Neal Patrick Harris did a great job, just as he did with his opening number at the Tony Awards on Sunday.

I’m not sure whether this is a horror flick or a love story. But I enjoyed it.
Another quality wrestling move where things don’t go exactly as planned … like Garp.
… um … blog.
