Harry Potter 7 (no spoilers)

I read HP7 over the weekend. It's a long book and it's a pretty good book but I won't spoil it for anybody. It's been a while since I read a book that fast - in fact HP6 was probably the last book I read this fast. I've been thinking about this for a while and I've decided the Harry Potter series deserves to mentioned with the Lord of the Rings, Dune (only the first book or two), and the foundation trilogy. I guess I would say it's probably one of the better sci-fi, fantasy concepts ever. J.K. Rowling is the first billionaire author as a result and it's pretty well deserved.

On Friday I helped some new friends move into their new condo. I met Brandon and Lisa a few years ago through my friend Emily at a halloween party. They moved to Seattle about 6 weeks ago and are just getting settled. Brandon is going to through his residency and will be (is?) a neuro doctor and Lisa is a dietician.

I'm going to Reno is August for work for a few days to visit some warehouse operations. I imagine it will be pretty similar to the UPS warehouse I worked at in terms of automation and technology. Reno should be a good time because Amazon encourages people to stay in town and that probably translates into a good time with the Casino's and whatever else the biggest little city in the world has to offer.

It's hard to believe July is almost over already. I've lived in Seattle for 4 months already. To quote the Talking Heads "letting the days go by..."
