and Books

* I've always avoided reading "Harry Potter" because it was popular. Ironically I went inside a London Bookstore looking for a popular children's book. At first, I didn't even think a second about "Harry Potter", then I realized the Irony, that it was the most popular children's book. I also remembered a friend from law school telling me how the books in England are original in that they have different wording such as "biscuit" etc... in them vs. the American version. So I decided that it was "okay" to buy "Harry Potter" after all (just the first book) as not many American's would have the English version. I also bought "The Monkey Pirates".
As you will see in Notes later we ended up watching the newest "Harry Potter" movie, which actually was fun to see in London...because I knew what London looked like.
