@MaiaMia. Hey, you know me well enough by now to know that books are my passion. Write on m'friend. You make some excellent points and I always enjoy your posts.
@M. Payton. You stole my line! Are we related from somewhere? Of course I don't have any gum to bet with as gum and me just do not go hand in hand.
Interesting point you bring up that Harry's "ordinary" will not, cannot and never will be the same as most of the general population's "ordinary". I can understand where he's coming from though with that. I've always thought that it would be horrific to be so well known that I couldn't pop into the local grocery store with my grubby clothes on and just do my thing without being noticed. How embarrassing to cut the cheese at the most inopportune moment and have it be the next day's headlines of "The Flatulence Heard Around The World". So many things we see as ordinary, those always in the public eye see as blessings. The wondrous perks of those that "have it all" are admired by us immensely sometimes but sometimes they'd like to pitch it all away and live in a remote cave somewhere where nobody bothers them. Its kind of like the "grass is greener" kind of thing I think. We all have those kind of thoughts here and there.
BTW: Y'all say a nice, welcoming "hello" to my sister M. Payton. I've finally convinced her to join me here in creating mayhem and chaos and oh wait... we don't do that here. We discuss mayhem and chaos sometimes though.
