Potter, I presume?

I relented and saw the latest Harry Potter movie (#3). I'd seen the first one, but had decided to stick to the books after that, missing #2. Cynthia, Ed, Rich and Scott wanted to go, so we went to see it. I have to admit that I enjoyed it. While I did notice the differences in the book to the movie, it was still very well done.

Last night, I had some pizza with my friend Paul and his fiance. I met Paul at Eagleton. He was an undergraduate associate, now on his way to law school. Paul has an interesting story: as a Chicago native, he worked at Orvis, teaching flyfishing and guiding people on expiditions. He left his first college, Colgate, to try life as a golf pro for a few years before September 11. Afterwards, he decided to do more with himself by finishing his undergrad and going to law school. Congrats on your engagement and good luck with law school! You'll see Paul in office someday soon.
