Attention: Reader. This blog post will be preempted for a very important message. Please hold.

Circumstances aligned in such a way that I have one sole goal for the day: finish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

It was too stormy to run (tornado watch); I’m not ready to grade; CW and I decided to avoid housework for the day.

This post comes to you from my couch, where I’ve been literally all day long. I started with coffee. Now I’ve worked my way to gin. I’ve got 100 pages left. Snape and Voldemort are in the Shrieking Shack, discussing wand lore. I’d better get back to it.

This concludes a very important message from your publisher. We will return to our regular programming tomorrow.
