ramble on

half way through a big month. writing from the nati, where i'm here to drop off my car (dr. w and i are going down to one car once we get to maryland) to store at my parents' place on an indefinite basis. lots of travel this month. eleven states. started july 1st in maryland. then headed to soflo for a week. then flew to california last monday, and then in oregon for the rest of last week. passed through salt lake (ok, so maybe i shouldn't count connecting flights) to georgia. spent the weekend in atlanta for the beav's baby shower and to pick up my car. drove up to ohio this morning. have a meeting in kentucky tomorrow, and then fly to missouri for some time in our office there. back to soflo tuesday night. thursday is a up and back trip to nashville. a week in soflo, then a day in georgia, then head to texas for a meeting and then staying the weekend for the annual enemy of my enemy is my friend gathering (featuring bloodninja, mrs. bloodninja, chief and chief chick, j-watt, joe (but no moe), momma cass, her dude, their kiddo, and of course, dr. w). should be a blast, as always. there until tuesday, then head to nevada for our annual company management retreat. finally, close out the month and fly back to soflo on the first friday of august. the next day dr. w and i drive to our new home!

whew.

much more exciting news is the last harry potter book. predictions (based on my opinions and readings of non-spoiler mugglenet boards):

• RAB is Regulus Black (sirius older brother)
• Snape is a good guy
• Snape dies
• hermione and ron get it on till the break of dawn
• dumbledore is definitely dead, but he helps harry
• harry is NOT a horcrux himself
• hagrid may die, too
