Preparing for Harry
… and by the way, I don’t know about you but I’m preparing for the release of Harry Potter VII by re-reading the rest of the series. I hope that it will arrive in the mail right about the time I’m ready for it.

Where have I been?
Oh, you know. Around. No, really I’m still here, just been lazy lately. Let me contemplate a spell, and I’ll try to do a little posting soon.

Like Mysteries? (As in books?)
I have to put in a plug for one of my all time favorite book stores. The Sleuth of Baker Street is a mystery book store located in the heart of old Toronto. Actually, that’s a bald-faced lie. Even though it should be in the heart of the old city (does Toronto have an old…

Another New Look
Yes I’m back and trying to blog again. For an initial entry, note another new look. I think this one may be the keeper of keepers. It’s a nice color, a nice font, there’s room for the banner, I can do all the editing I need to do right from the front page (you can’t…

I’ve been truant again. I just haven’t had a lot of blogging energy lately, but tonight I did modify the site a bit. I miss the gout monster, but he seemed to go over a lot of peoples’ heads, so maybe he’s no great loss. Maybe I’ll post him on the ‘About’ page so he…
