The HP discussion group went really well. There were a bunch of people and I tried to keep us focused on book sixie things, but mostly there was a really good discussion. September the 1st we leave on the Hogwarts Express, er, embark on our discussion of book 1. Christina has one of those speakers where you plug it in into the wall or your computer, plop your iPod in, and it plays it just like a stereo. I was never very intrigued by them till now. It is soo cool!

Christina & I are in San Francisco, where we are house-sitting for Uncles Leonard & Jeff. We made it safe before noon, after leaving at six and stopping for Pea Soup. Poor Rufus may or may not have cancer, and has to have pills everyday, which he loves. We have many fun things planned but are also going to get a lot of work and writing done.

it turns out, i liked to write. a book about me just arrived from unc chapel hill. apparently, i wrote this whole other book in addition to this one from carolina it's called "Hounds of War Unleashed" i loved them corny titles..(i requested a copy for us. there's only 20 copies in the world..that's totally irrelevant. i just threw it in to make it sound cooler) so apparently i ran a hospital in belgium in 1916 (after spending 9 months in Russia). did you know that? edith cavell was my homegirl...oh! and i was a secret agent in the spanish civil war...but nobody understand how i ended up there. i was a wren in wwii and knew serbian. serbian! serbian, rachel! you should like me just for that. but the belgium in 1916 is the part of particular interest...man did i get around.
