Back home!

I had some extra time at O'Hare yesterday because there were storms in Atlanta. Got home around midnight. Catses are coming around after a few applications of gooshyfud but they were pretty "Oh. So you think you still live here?" when I got home.

Sunday Alison and I went to the Museum of Science and Industry, where we saw:

It was an exhibit of props and costumes from the movies. I saw Professor Snape's trouser cuffs buttons! I had to fan myself a couple of times at some of the detail that was in even throwaway items like the programs for the Quidditch world cup match--Gilderoy Lockhart had robes that were six different fabrics all in the same shade of gold! Ron Weasley had a knitted blanket for his bed, because his mum is a knitter! So unhappy I couldn't take pictures inside.

The MSI is a bit of a maze, and the Fairy Castle is tucked off in a dark corner behind the farm exhibit and the magic of home plumbing, so I was brandishing the map a little grimly when we got to it, but it was not a busy day at the museum so I got to spend some quality time there.
