Just a reminder from South Florida

You can find Dave Barry's Look Back in Horror at 2005 on the Herald's website. A small teaser:

But whatever Scooter allegedly did, it was bad. We know this because pretty much all the news this year was bad. Oh, sure, there were some positive developments. Here is a complete list:

• In some areas, the price of gasoline, much of the time, remained below $5 a gallon.

• Nobody you know caught avian flu. Yet.

• The Yankees once again failed to win the World Series.

• Cher actually ended her farewell tour.

That was it for the good news. The rest of 2005 was a steady diet of misery, horror and despair, leavened occasionally by deep anxiety.

In book news, millions of youngsters snap up the latest in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter Must Be Like 32 Years Old By Now. The book has a surprise plot twist that upsets some fans: Beloved Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore is killed by Severus Snape, who, moments later, is acquitted by a California jury.

You might want to put a spoiler warning up, in case anyone was in a coma or something this summer.

Saw this in Barry's Washingtonpost.com chat today and thought of you :) LOL

Alexandria, Va.: Dave, what were you thinking in revealing the ending of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince? I can't believe Tom the Butcher left it in. I still heart you, though.

Dave Barry: So you didn't already know that Albus Dumbledore was, biologically, a woman?
