This afternoon-Friday- after I had pre-scheduled the above post, I read this very sad news: CNN) – Robbie Coltrane, the actor who brought to life the lovable gamekeeper Hagrid in the Harry Potter film franchise, died on Friday, according to his agent, Scott Henderson. He was 72.
You will be missed. I have watched RC since he played on the series “Cracker”.

Postman delivered
A past due bill notice
The alarm clock rang two hours late
The garbage man left all the trash
On the sidewalk
And the hinges fell off of the gate
This morning at breakfast
I spilled all the coffee
When I opened the door on my knee
Oh, the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
Last night, you came home late
I knew you’d been drinking
By that old mellow look on your face
I thought, “It don’t matter
‘Cause it’s the holiday season”
And you fill such a big empty space
And I laid down beside you
And I wanted your lovin’
‘Cause your love makes my life complete
Oh, the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
So excuse me for lookin’
Like my world just ended
And excuse me for lookin’
Like I just lost my best friend
And excuse me for livin’
Being forgiven
Just go on if you wanna be free
The last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
Oh, the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me

“I take it as a given that no one really likes to see me in my official capacity, but doctor Chau seemed more annoyed than most. I showed up for the open heart surgery she was performing. “Tell me that’s not the person I think it is”, Chau said to Shiela Reeves. Reeves, the hospital administrator, had accompanied me into the scrub room. Chau was scrubbing up and after her initial glance refused to look at me, as well as several other members, scrubbing up for the operation.”
The Dispatcher is a 2016 science fiction novella by John Scalzi. It was originally published as an audiobook from Audible, read by Zachary Quinto.
From Goodreads: “…Tony Valdez is a Dispatcher – a licensed, bonded professional whose job is to humanely dispatch those whose circumstances put them in death’s crosshairs, so they can have a second chance to avoid the reaper.”
I found mixed reviews but I really enjoyed this book. One review said it had no humor but I strongly disagree. I listened to it on the audible app and liked the narrator. I also liked the sequel. It has an old radio-noir-mystery feeling to it.

Three Line Tales #141 – Personality Colors
I see you staring. Like what you see? Not many people are able to see the real me, and I’m surprised you can. You look fairly normal, so why are you interested in me?
To a few, I share my whole self. Colors you see represent a part of myself. My basic navy blue is my every day feeling. . .boring isn’t it? That is why I spice it up with my orange eyebrows. Bright blue is my hidden personality trying to break through. Hot pink is my happiness and yellow my quiet voice. Green represents normality. . .red, anger of course.
