At the end of the book, Half-blood Prince, Harry is in doubt. He seems to be a lost soul, as evidenced by his lack of enthusiasm to solve the mysteries that remain: the half-blood prince and mother, the final horcruces, and the writer of the note to the dark lord exposing the false horcrux. Harry... Sign in to see full entry.
The Power of Love in the fight between good and evil.......................
The power of love seems to have taken quite a hit by the time that Severus Snape kills Albus Dumbledore with the unlikely "avira kadavra" hex. BOOM! Albus Dumbledore is no more. It happens that Lord Voldemort gave to a child the order to kill the headmaster of the school. This is an obscene strategy... Sign in to see full entry.

The real message behind Dr. King's dream: it's our dream as a nation......
My girls and I were ill this morning. We all had the stomachache. They stayed home from school and I went, but I didn't celebrate MLK Day the way I wanted to. I just went to my room at school and read Harry Potter all day. I guess that's part of the dream. But the real dream of Martin Luther King,... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, all this talk about Harry Potter has got my dander up.
Thank heaven the girls just came in with Mountain Dew! I can think again. Well, all this talk about Harry Potter has got my dander up. I spent the better part of four days last week reading the final book and I gotta tell you, it is one of the best books I've read. She has started to catch onto... Sign in to see full entry.
I think I hate 'er, I'll think of a good reason later......................
Well, I did not hear from my friend who invited me to the dance. My daughter said, "why do you care, you had already made up your mind not to go?" But I wanted her to call me and beg me to go, of course. I realized later that I had been told already where and when, and I could've looked it up in my... Sign in to see full entry.

Tonight I had a thrilling encounter with a man! We were both actively participating, in very close quarters, touching. We helped one another through it. I tried to be as supportive as possible, and from an emotional standpoint, I was very grateful to him. He really cared about me, and us. It was... Sign in to see full entry.

The root of the word student is Latin for "to study". 'Nuff said
Well, I have a few minutes before I have to get outside and walk a bit. I walked Tuesday morning well before dawn, and my legs have felt great all week. The one thing I have noticed about this high blood pressure is that if you fail to combine some activity with hydrating properly, you will find... Sign in to see full entry.

She left deflated. I guess I'm on the slow track and she's in the fast lane
At this moment thereis no hot water and I'm forty minutes away from the time I need to be at work. My oldest daughter has a sore throat and wants to stay home from school. She will miss morning classes at the high school and attend afternoon classes on campus. I will call her in on my way to work... Sign in to see full entry.

We ended on "California Dreaming" with everyone singing along.
The second set of the night was much better. I was not background music, rather everyone who remained, pitched in with requests. I asked for suggestions including any country music song of the 20th Century (I don't know any knew ones). Immediately, I became responsible for "Margueritaville", "If You...
