Well, you've read the notes, the notes were just sort of akeeta, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're over akeeta.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

The sparkling prize was a lovely tan colored t-shirt with the "Murder at the Grove" title (in the same color and font as the book) on the front!

Thanks again, BK!

"Uncle Ron" one of Father's friends was a Fireman.  When I was a pre-schooler I wanted to be a fireman.

(My Dad was Santa at the Fire Brigade's Christmas function - I of course was not aware of that until I was at least 5)

I loved to visit the Fire Station and I also loved to stop in at the Blacksmith's shop which was close by.

This all sounds wonderfully euphamistic to me!  What a joyous childhood you had!   :D

As for Topic of the Day...

I'm not exactly sure what triggered the interest, but I wanted to be an astronomer. I wanted to look at and into the night sky for a living. Constellations, magnitudes, nebulae, galaxies, planets... I even wrote to NASA and a bunch of observatories asking if they had any free material they could send me... And they did! I particularly remember a package of posters that the Goddard Space Flight Center sent me: the Space Shuttle, the Solar System, the Night Sky... All the posters were ones that were currently on sale in their gift shop and through their catalog, and they sent them to me for free!

For the word ABSTEMIOUS, perhaps "Eat It" sung by Weird Al Yankovic?
