Milestones

We are very proud to have crossed two major milestones today. First, on a boat travel is measured in hours not miles. This is calculated by the length of time the engine has run. Today we passed the 1000 hours marker of the number of hours that we have put on the boat. The boat had approximately 30 hours on it when we purchased it so we are very excited to have passed the first major travel indicator.



Secondly, we have been reading (listening to) the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling off and on for the past year or so. Today we finished the series. Ironically it was just about the same time that we reached our 1000 hours mark on Lolligag’s engine. We both thoroughly enjoyed the HP series and both loved listening to the audio version. Jim Dale, the narrator, does all 100+ character voices himself and is an engaging artist. If you have not read or listened to this series, we cannot recommend it highly enough. While designed for children, the subtle and wise way that JK Rowling teaches us all how to live by the Golden Rule is a lesson for children of all ages.
