Harry Potter, via author J.K. Rowling, recently had a "confrontation" with heightened airport security…and Harry won. Hmm. Rowling was in New York for an event during August and here’s what she says of the travel incident:
The heightened security restrictions on the airlines in August made the journey back from New York interesting, as I refused [...]

Yesterday Missyisms, this blog that is, turned one year old! Our first blogiversary!
My first ever post was about the wonderful Foyle’s War. That night last year, PBS in the U.S. ran the first episode of season 3 of Foyle’s War. I’ve just looked at FoylesWar.com and they’ve got a notice that Foyle’s War seasons 4 [...]

2,996 innocents lost their lives. They are pictured above. They were from 115 different countries. (Click on the picture for a better view and to learn more about it.) We miss them all.

My friend chats_noirs had a difficult day Friday culminating in badly sprained ankle. As their condo is not on the ground floor, this left her rather "shut in" for the holiday weekend. With my usual brilliance, a quote from her husband–not a crass attempt at fluffing my own feathers, I suggested a weekend Jane Austen [...]

Former First Lady of Texas Nellie Connally has passed away. Mrs. Connally skyrocketed to international attention because of one car ride:
Americans, and many others, will recognize this famous picture that was taken just minutes before Pres. Kennedy was assassinated. That’s Mrs. Connally in front of Jackie Kennedy. Like Mrs. Kennedy, Nellie Connally was not [...]

Life with Reggie can be difficult (check out the Pets category in the right column for more on this). Lately life with Reggie has been even harder because he’s been even more nervous-nellie than normal. As I’ve surely mentioned, Reggie is afraid of coughing, sneezing, and similar-type noises, but not thunder, fireworks, or sonic booms. [...]
