| Age that is. It's just a number. So on Saturday I did something I haven't done since High School. I pulled an all nighter. By 7:00AM, I had finished HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, so I went to bed. I couldn't fall asleep for another half an hour, then I woke up at 10:30 AM. I admit taking another nap in the afternoon, but I went to bed at 11:00 that evening and woke up just fine--OK, a little later--on Sunday morning. My point is I was having fun and I didn't want it to stop. One would think that someone of MY AGE would know better, but I realized I had nothing else planned, I wasn't hurting anyone, so why not stay up all night and have fun? Age has nothing to do with it.

My two girls had a race to see who could finish first. Even though Leah had a 5 hour head start, having bought it around midnight here, when Hannah called at 7 a.m. Leah was sound asleep, having only read 100 pages or so.
There's an analogy there about tortoises and hares, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
I'm on the second read right now--nice and slow for the content, not the plot. We've all read it now (except Stef), including the hubby.
