Very late Friday night. Home alone. Tom is out with friends, as he has been nearly every night since his high school graduation four weeks ago. I’ll see him tomorrow. And Kate? Kate just drove off with a couple of her wild teacher friends to go to a local bookstore to buy the new "Harry Potter" book at the stroke of midnight. Or therabouts. And me? Just contemplating box scores and blogging software.
It was interesting to me to find that they had a whole table of English copies(the British English ones) set out, at a store with almost no English books, on opening day here in Tokyo. I guess it was just my good fortune they were thinking about all the lonely English speakers who couldn’t afford the flight back to their country in order to wait in line at midnight, like me.
