Matthew Peacock to be Wed. . . . .Tomorrow!
First off, I am generally opposed to the exclamation point, especially in titles
or headings, but I used one her because I am deeply moved. Anyway, Matthew, who
just returned from Air Force basic training, will be married in his parent house
to his fiance of three months, Christie Berkley. The two were planning on having
a get-away wedding in June, but he called me yesterday to cancel the plans we
had for Friday because of the wedding. Like I said, it's going to be at the
Peacock's house with no guest other than family. How about that?
Harry Potter
The date that you can all release your breath has finally been anounced: June
21. That is the date that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be
released. The book is already available for pre-order through most major on-line
book stores. The reports say the book is one third longer than Goblet of Fire,
which was a lengthy book in its own right. The publishers also put out two
paragraphs as a teaser for the book. The first was the first few lines of the
book, which don't tell us anything more than Harry is back at #4 Privet Drive
and it's summer time. The second excerpt is much more of a true teaser. Here it
is:"Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-moon
glasses. 'It is time,' he said, 'for me to tell you what I should have told you
five years ago, Harry. 'Please sit down. I am going to tell you everything.'" So
there you go. If you haven't read these books, you should. Amy and I can't wait
for this one to come out.
