Thanks, Burb! You give me and my blog way more ...1. Thanks, Burb! You give me and my blog way more credit than we deserve. I rarely plan a blog or give a post the attention it really needs. Mine is mostly spew, too. But isn't that the point?<BR/><BR/>2. Oh, I long for the day when you realize that you have superpowers, and spend the following weeks awkwardly working them out. What would they be? What superpowers could you possibly want that you don't already possess? A loving, attentive husband, a wonderful raiser of a trio of girls, a steady and vastly entertaining friend (and leader of men and women, though you refuse to recognize that. Grow!), an employee the Hill is darn lucky to have. <BR/><BR/>And it's that dad thing I think of the most. Those girls will have their own superpower because of you--a security forcefield that comes when a dad loves them and values them and details the hilarious and super sweet contents of their adorable purses (I love my boys, but, oh!, I wish they had purses!).<BR/><BR/>3. As I reread HP for the 2nd time, in conjunction with watching the movies for the ??? time, it occurs to me that Ms. Rowling has created a masterpiece. She has encapsulated every childhood fantasy that I wanted as a kid, and most other kids, too, apparently. Even at a wizened 38, I lamely wish for the power to do magic, to live in an enchanted castle, to have those amazing friendships (though I feel I'm doing pretty well on the latter). Just knowing how cool HP is is cool enough. Or so I like to think!<BR/>4. Keep writing, Burb.luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078248950005444423noreply@blogger.com
