Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

We're almost there - the moment many of us have been waiting for - the release of the 7th (and last) Harry Potter book. Everyone has their predictions of who will live and who will die and we'll know very soon.

I saw a very interesting article today about the security measures Scholastic has been taking to ensure that no one gets an advanced copy and that we all get to experience that magical moment when we begin reading the book with no spoilers in mind. Completely innocent as the article states.

Harry Potter and the Sinister Spoilers

So I saw a half a watermelon on the side of the highway today - the left side by the center median. How strange is that?

White Castle Withdrawl?

Florissant White Castle to pull up its drawbridge for a while

Apparently the locals might experience 'withdrawal problems,' city councilman says - if they tear down the old restaurant and build a new one in it's place....

Seriously...

First Anniversary

Today is our first wedding anniversary! We didn't do anything especially exciting today, but we also didn't do any household chores or any of that kind of stuff. We started out attending Sunday mass at St. Ann in Normendy where we got married a year ago today. They had their parish bbq this afternoon so we stuck around long enough to see Fr. Bill rollerbladeing with the kids and had some delicious food courtesy of the men's club. Then we headed down to forest park and had our photo taken at the same bridge where our wedding pictures were taken. After that we headed home, played some Wii games and relaxed. I can't believe it's been a year since our wedding!
