Big day on the news front

[amethyst73]

Public:

- Molly Ivins passed from this world.  She will be missed.

- Ditto Giancarlo Menotti, composer of Amahl and the Night Visitors and other stuff.

- Release date for Harry Potter Book 7 has been announced: July 21, 2007, one week after the planned release of the film of Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix (being released on our wedding anniversary - how cool is that?).  Mid-to-late-July is going to have serious worldwide Pottermania.

Private:

- Poor nezumiko got bit by a rat and her hand is all infected now.  I visited her in the Urgent Care facility of a local  hospital and helped her to be not insanely bored for about an hour.

- I'm an aunt again!  My brother's wife gave birth to their second child this morning, a son named Andrew.  Now Xander will have someone to play with.  :)

- Fry's will have a certain console for sale when they open tomorrow AM at 8.  How early will I be there?  We'll see...
