SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT READ PAST THE FIRST PARAGRAPH IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE LATEST HARRY POTTER BOOK!
Yes, I spent the day playing Morgan Freeman to Olivia's Jessica Tandy. It was Mike Parvizi's first trip to our home (yes! I must've impressed the parents!), and then the two of them needed escorting to all sorts of activities. So I drove them to CPK to meet Cari and Carolyn and sat around elsewhere while they ate, and then I drove them to the movies, where they saw "The Exorcism of Olivia Rose". I mean EMILY Rose. Sorry. I hung around in downtown San Mateo until the film was over, THEN I drove them to the Serra football game so Olivia could introduce Mike to everyone she knows.
Not the most fun day, but Olivia was happy and that's all that matters, right?
No, I'm kidding. I didn't mind at all, because I always like to observe Olivia and her friends in their natural habitat. Also, I learned of the existence of a videotape I simply must have. Olivia and Mike told me of a video that shows an eager crowd of Harry Potter fans waiting outside a book store for their very own copy of "The Half Blood Prince". Then a car slowly pulls up to the crowd. A guy hangs out the car window and yells "Snape kills Dumbledore!" and then drives away. Much maudlin response ensues.
I HAVE to see this video.

Oh dear. I don't know who "Pacifica Mom" is. I'm very sorry to ruin the book for you. I guess it didn't occur to me that anyone outside of my own little circle of friends and relatives would visit this site.
Please accept my sincere apologies. And by the way, I haven't read the book myself and so I can't even say for sure that info provided in the "drive by" is correct.
:( sorry again.
