I was NOT one of the estimated 1 million sitting on the Parkway.  I spent my day by the pool, thank you very much.  Pops asked me Friday if PIC and I were going.  I looked at him like he was crazy.  PIC and I had no intentions of hopping on the bus to down there.  Maybe, just MAYBE if U2 were going to be live in Philly, I would have mulled it over.  I still would have come to the same conclusion.  At least I would have thought about it though. 

If you didn't know, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is going to be in stores on July 16th.  I was originally going to drag DJ to Barnes & Noble at 12am to get one of the first copies because I am crazy like that.  Until I noticed that Walmart is going to be selling the book cheaper then B&N.  Instead I'll get up nice and early and be in front of Walmart at 7am when the doors open.  I plan on spending the day by the pool reading my book. 

True, it's not that much cheaper.  B&N is completely out of my way.  As big as Philly is, we really don't have any bookstores.  Honestly.  I think we have 2 downtown.  None anywhere else.  I hate that.  I love books.  I have to trek out of city to go to a bookstore.  Even in other cities, there's not that many and I think they are all B&N's.  That drives me crazy.
