No Joke!
We’ve become rather obsessed with Harry Potter. Maybe it makes us feel at home, like comfort food. Maybe we just like escaping from reality. However you slice it, we’re both totally sucked in. Megan’s been reading them in Spanish (she’s almost done with the sixth one) and Sarah in English (she refuses to try the Spanish versions — insists that working hard is not the point of Harry Potter books). I know, I know, it’s totally lame. But what else can you do on 10 hour bus rides?
So imagine our surprise when Megan, trying to uncover financial aid information about the UW, ran across this little gem: a real life, actual invisibility cloak. Proved by math. Math!
I know that invisibility cloaks in Washington State have little to do with our travels, but it was just TOO COOL to skip.

I’m so glad to know that you’ve posted again after riding on top of a train. Believe it or not, I found that a little worrisome.
As for the invisibility cloak, it looks like only half of him disappeared. Do not attempt this at home! You may never find your other half!
Glad to hear you two have found Harry Potter wherever you roam. His last volume is due out very soon…
I’m back from DC and a documentary outreach conference, ready to fly Sunday to LA and play with some stock brokers who are having a meeting they want broadcasted.
Next Friday is the big Thirteen airing of “Brick,” so we’re doing whatever we can to get the word out and get ready. Will have hundreds at the Yonkers Public Library to watch. Who knew? It’s all somewhat exhausting, but lots of fun!
Hope you are having as great a time as it sounds. I envy you Potter-loving travelers… especially the pleasant pace you keep when not riding on top of trains with Devilish names.
In the blast from the past dept, Angela Capello just returned from her first trip to Brazil with University of Delaware classmates. Guess South America is the place to be.
… ah, I see the Devil’s nose was canceled, but the language skewers keep on coming! You gotta love the comments section on this blog.
I can’t decide between the Hand Sandwich and the Head Ribs… maybe we should call the Decider.
Dear Bill,
Let’s rename them freedom sandwiches and liberty ribs. That’ll show those suckers who don’t want to learn English like normal people.
