I'm a 65 year old great grandma, and I got "hooked" on HP a few years ago when I read the first one aloud to my grandson. I didn't want to quit reading when it was his bed time, so I finished the book that night and then finished reading it to him at a more leisurely pace. Excellent books, and excellent information.

You must have a very active social life, doing all sorts of interesting things. That must be why you forgot to ask a question, too many friends coming around and interuppting you.
