Comments on: Its been a busy rest week http://completerunning.com/chocolate-runners-blog/2007/07/28/its-been-a-busy-rest-week/ Training for my next race, making chocolate, and trying not to mix the two too much.

I know I don't write anything bad, but running is very personal to me and I don't like non RBF people knowing 'that side' of my life. Non-runners just don't get it. I'm glad she was sworn to secrecy. Did you make her 'pinky shake' on it? :) That’s one of my fears for sure–to be ‘outed’ by someone at work.

(great analogy.) i was disappointed. of course, the true harry potter fans would be satisfied with 500 blank pages followed by a 1 page ending...

It seems i never win either. I don't like Harry Potter so I have nothing to add. Glad your ankle feels better. Capture the flag is a hard and fun game. It seems i never win either.

Hopefully, anyone with more than about a 10th grade education could have pieced together where Rowling was going with the plot after book 6. For me, Hallows was kind of like a graduation - something to get through. And I even kind of liked the pointless wandering - I kept hearing talking heads the week before the book let out saying how they hoped that Rowling would help kids in the real world - and she did, by showing how most jobs are played by ear and just kind of take forever. The thing with the dragon was brilliant, though, and there was one twist at the end I didn't see coming. As far as the epilogue, I saw it as kind of the opposite - Rowling's written the next 19 years of Potter's life, and you and I could fill in the blanks if we really wanted from life. She's not leaving much room to revisit, IMO. I was actually pretty satisfied.

It's too bad it couldn't be more satisfying after all the anticipation. I’ve not read the Harry Potter books or seen the movies myself - but my stepmom is expressing the same disappoinment.
