Yikes! I'm sorry about the stomach bug! :-( I've gone and caught a cold, but at least I'm not suffering from any nausea or loss of appetite. I hope you and R are feeling a bit better now.

Yes, I knew that The Half-Blood Prince had been pushed back to July, though I heard it was because of the writer's strike. Maybe that was the first excuse and the real reason is the fear of November competition. I can't remember what all is coming out later in the year except for the new James Bond flick. Considering how massively popular Harry Potter is I don't know why they'd be worried about going up against other films. It does seem like a pretty lame excuse.
