...on one of those stupid links that claims to know who dies in Harry Potter. Now I know. At least I think I know. I didn't really want to know, but it was written in large bold-faced font. For those of you who can't wait a few more days, here's where you can read at least part of the book as photographed by some sneaky person. This is a random page:
And here's the last page of the book. Don't look too closely.

[G]Who draws the crowd? Who[C ] plays so loud? Baby its the [ D]guitar man.
[G]Who's going to steal the [C]show? You know baby its the [D]guitar man.

He will [ em]bring you down and he'll [A]get you high. !
[CM7]Something keeps him going [ bm7]miles and miles a day to [am7]find
another place to [D]play.
[G]Night after night, who [C]treats you right? Baby its the [D]guitar man.
[G]Who's on the radi[C]o? You go to listen to the [D]guitar man.
When he [em]comes to town and you [C]see his face. And you[em] think you
might like to [A]take his place.
[CM7]Something keeps him drifting [ bm7]miles and miles away, [am7]searching
for the songs to [ D]play.
You [am]listen to the [ E+/g#]music and you [C6/g ]like to sing
a[D/f#]long. You [G ]want to get the[D/f#] meaning out of [em]each and
every song.[E] And you[am] find yourself a [E+/g#]message and some
[C6/g ]words to call your [D/f#]own and take them [E]home.

[CM7]Something keeps him moving, but [bm7]no one seems to know [am7]what it
is that makes him [D]go.
Then the [am ]lights begin to [E+/g#]flicker and the[C6/g] sound is getting
dim.[D/f#]
The voice[G] begins to fal[D/f# ]ter and the [em]crowds are getting thin.[E]
But he [am]never seems to [E+/g#]notice he's just [C6/g]got to find
a[D/f#]nother place to [E]play.

And Aubrey was her name
C C/B Am7 Am7/D
A not so very ordi-nary girl or name
G G/F# Em Gmaj7 C G
But who's to blame for a love that wouldn't bloom
Cmaj7 G Gma7
For the hearts that never played in tune
Am7 G/B C G/B
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing

Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing

G G/F# Em Gmaj7
And Aubrey was her name

We tripped the light and danced together to the moon
G G/F# Em Gmaj7 C G
But where was June? No it never came around
Cmaj7 G Gma7
If it did, it never made a sound
Am7 G/B C G/B
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast

And I'd go a million times around the world just to say

She had been mine for a day.
My dad sent me these ads from back in the day. Oh my was it a different world back then. There's nothing more persuasive than having doctors and Santa Claus endorsing cigarettes. And who can ignore serious advertisements about girlfriends and wives with STDs and yeast infections?
You ought to read the gospel; you ought to read the Book of Mormon . . . ; and you ought to read all the scriptures with the idea of finding out what's in them and what the meaning is and not to prove some idea of your own. Just read them and plead with the Lord to let you understand what he had in mind when he wrote them. . . . Become acquainted with the language of the scriptures and the teachings of the scriptures.

My dad sent me some new running shoes and socks (Thorlos, of course) today. The shoes are pretty sweet. Spira Genesis II is what they are to be exact. They have springs in the heel and forefoot, which is why they are banned in money competition races. Apparently they provide an unfair advantage. I don't know about that, but they do feel pretty good so far walking around the house. It's been kind of nice to have a dad own a shoe store for a while, although he sold it this week. He decided it was too much work for a "retired" guy in his 50s.
My dad must have known that my life pretty much sucks right now studying for the bar, so not only did he send shoes, but he sent them full of money. $5s, $10s, and $20s. Now that's a pretty sweet package to get in the mail. He should send stuff more often.
Well, I think I'm going to take a break here for a bit and go see how the shoes feel on the road.
