No Spoilers

I saw the latest installment of Harry Potter movies this morning. “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” came out last weekend. Carrie and I always go see them together, and she and I were joined by Glenda, Tonya and Kelsey. I hope I don’t ruin it for any of you if I tell you several major characters were still alive at the end of the movie.

I did a bit of snooping around the internet this morning because I wanted to read the spoilers on the last book in the Harry Potter series, which came out this morning. The author, J.K. Rowling, previously announced that one or more major characters dies in the end. I know who it — or they — are, but I won’t spoil it for anyone who wants to read the book without knowing. That might be a bit like telling Daryl the UA won a basketball game before he had watched the final seconds. You just don’t want to go there!

After the movie, we headed over to L.I.F.E. for a tour. It opened this week, and they gave therapy to a few children, including (of course) LAUREN, the star of the show! The construction is complete, supplies are in, computers are hooked up, the receptionist is on duty, and applications of the 300+ children on the waiting list are beginning to be read. They are fully staffed. Several therapists who were previously uninterested changed their minds when they saw the facility. It’s beautiful. I took some pictures, which I’ll post later.
