A LOVELY EVENING: Practiced my scuba in the pool –which I was extra careful about after hearing of Scott Shuger’s death — in preparation for a diving trip in a couple of weeks. (I last dove in August, and I like to keep my skills up). My wife and daughter came and played too. The pool was pretty much empty except for us and my dive partner. Then another chapter of Harry Potter; now blogging on the laptop while my wife and daughter watch “Courage the Cowardly Dog,” a truly weird show on the Cartoon Network. It doesn’t get much better than that.
