...talking about taking his daughter to a midnight Potter-palooza:
That night was when I encountered the dark and disturbing side of Harry Potter books which manifested itself in grown adults wearing wizard hats and capes and what-not, faces frozen in a rictus of unbearable glee, glassy-eyed and a bit creepy. Employees from the bookstore mingled with the people in line, possibly in an attempt to keep a riot from breaking out as the witching hour approached, handing out Harry Potter glasses and lightning bolt tattoos and making happy chat . Since I was standing there, childless and dressed normally, a woman smiled and pointed out that I came as a "Muggle".Since I didn't have a frigging clue what she was talking about, I just nodded amiably like I do when people talk about economics or hockey. I credit my survival to this day on my amiable nod.
I certainly agree when it comes to economics and hockey...
