Harry Potter and the Order Of the Phoenix (did I spell that right?) comes out at midnight tonight and I'm going. This is partially a reward to my 15-year-old daughter who has read the books. We did the same for the last movie, and I have to say, there's something about being in a room with 200 or so avid readers, or at least avid Harry Potter readers. I haven't read the book yet, and forgive me for saying so, but I'm a bigger fan of the movies than the books. This is not a slap to J. K...a great yarn is a great yarn, and that's what we get in Harry Potter. I'm not saying we get great writing, but hey, great storytelling is great storytelling. You rock, J. K!
Now here's my dilemma. I just got back from the Happiest Place On Earth—no I don't mean the local ice cream parlor—this morning at 1:oo. Do I really want to be up until 3:00 AM today? Um...let me think...yes! Again, great stories are great stories...even the visual variety. Greg

“Greg Trine is a truly inspirational writer and speaker. When he visited my class, he captivated my students with stories of his challenges and successes as a writer, inspiring them with lessons of perseverance and encouragement. The activities he worked on with them showed how they could embody traits of character just as noble and just as funny as Melvin Beederman's. He was very entertaining, and the evil laugh contest was a hoot!” Kristin R. Gellinck Fourth Grade Teacher, Rancho Vista Elementary School
