Have you Fangangoed Harry Potter, yet?

Harry Potter is MINE!!!

This may not mean anything … except to us kids, but I am very pleased to have “FANDANGOED” a couple of tickets to the New  “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”  coming out MIDNIGHT July 10th, 2007!

I know this is a work night for many folks… but it should be wonderful if it stays true to the book. I am rather curious why the last of  “Joe’s” books  is being released AFTER the movie. Hopefully, this is not an ominous sign. I have the new books ordered,too!

Looks like fun!

Web cams are a peek into their world

keeping an eye on Cape Town, South Africa

One of the most interesting phenomenon of our modern world is the proliferation of web cams in many of the cities in the world. I seem to remember seeing hundreds in London alone. For fathers, having a web cam in a city in which one of your adult offspring is living makes the distance feel closer. Obviously, it tells you so much more than a picture… the weather, the crowds or lack of people are all there to view in real time.

It is for this reason that I have  web cams of Cape town, South Africa  (the pictures above are of Table Moutain and a beach in Cape town) and  Hawaii  on  my desktop… oh yes, the girls would not allow radio controlled collars or subcutaneous transponders… for some reason?

Cape town looks very beautiful today.

Of course, we have ordered the regular edition, the deluxe edition and the U.K. edition. It is far too hard to wait for someone to finish the book, we each need our own!

We can hardly wait! Here’s a few links:
