Harry Potter and Travel Plans

Allison and I had dinner Thursday night and got to discuss the new Harry Potter book which we have both finished. Rowling has an amazing ability to do what I think all fiction writers should do, tell a great story and create characters you care about. Someone asked me why the series is so popular and I think it is that simple. Harry Potter books are just meant to be enjoyed and one shouldn’t spend too much time analyzing them, although it is fun to speculate what will happen next.

Work is especially busy right now. We have started the pilot testing for our new software. I am off to Tucson tomorrow for meetings with my boss and the rest of our group. I’m looking forward to meeting the folks I’ve talked to on the phone.
