dude!

I got excited by this article, which told me that invisibility cloaks might could actually come to be!

Though I still treasure the moment when Colleen and I ditched a seminary class one Halloween to go to JoAnn's Fabrics to buy shiny silver material so I could sew my effective-only-with-a-good-imagination invisibility cloak for Joel's birthday. The woman cutting the fabric asked, so pleasantly, "What are you making?"

"An invisibility cloak," I answered, enthusiastically.

She was suddenly silent.

"Like from Harry Potter," I added.

After another moment of silence, she simply noted. "I still don't get it."

Molly- I've so been fantasizing about an invisibility cloak in recent days. Really. The other day, I was walking up Mass Ave from Harvard Square thinking all about Harry Potter and how wonderful it would be to shroud myself and become invisible. I am SO with you. -Amanda

I didn't have a cloak, but one of my practices as a reporter was to be as invisible as possible.

Sometimes it worked really well;
other times, not so much.

Ditching seminary class to make an invisibility cloak--that was a good day. Thanks for bringing it back to mind, Mols.
