The Facility in the Middle of Nowhere goes to the movies. The movie was
Harry Potter
and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Unlike the other two Harry Potter films, this one was,
according to Spring, more Halloween than Christmas. And it was all the
better for it.
About the only thing I didn't really care for was Michael Gambon's portrayal of
Hogwart's headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. While he looked exactly
like Richard
Harris in the Albus Dumbledore role, it wasn't the same calm understated
manner that Harris played Dumbledore—Gambon was more animated and … well

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
