7-21-07 .... midnight:01

If you have no idea what the title of this post means, you are a Muggle. It is the release time for HP7 (that would be the 7th Harry Potter book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"). The world is all a quiver in anticipation and Margaret and Katie are not immune to the fever.

Dave & I headed to the Beartooth Theatre and Brew Pub for the 10:30 showing of "Caddyshack", a cinematic tour de force. With our pitcher of beer we settled into our seats.
