end of an era

it's over. i wont give it away, but i hear tell--its surprising and unpredicted and very good. the outcome. so. there you have it: the seventh and final installment of harry potter.

it was quiet today. it was not me reading. but reading happened, interspersed with an all-out, balls-to-the-wall bike ride several miles up a little highway in the hills, we took hills, and navigated no-shoulder episodes with speedy drivers, we panted and sweated and then drank water, and came home. i tell you, good fun had by all, even tho i dont take to harry. i didnt make it past the first couple chapters in the first book, but i have been amazed by the recommendations, from folks who have my highest respects- there you have it again.

juliet has finished her read.

now we can all get on with the next things: like, say, dinner. and world summits and whatnot.

all's well with the world. again.

ps king midas has come home to roost. more in subsequent bloggie...
