My back actually hurts a bit more than yesterday. Only slightly though. And it didn't hurt badly yesterday either. I have a tree on my back. Heehee.

I am going to a weekend intensive class in VA on Saturday and Sunday led by Isaac Bonewits, sponsored by a group called Mannaheim. It should be interesting. I wasn't going to go- though I wanted to when I first heard of it a few weeks ago but a sudden twist in the last two days has made it possible. Caryn, Jesse, Nicole, Jack and I are all going.

dcnblus, you can ignore the message that I left you last night. Dominic was working on The Evil for a better chunk of yesterday and well into the night and seems to have eradicated whatever was going on.

I must say, at the moment I'm happy to have a geek in my house with time on his hands because I really didn't feel like dealing with whatever The Evil was doing.

Laura Mallory Needs To Take Up Collecting Stamps Or Something.

ATLANTA (AP) -- A suburban Atlanta mother who claims Harry Potter books teach children witchcraft said Wednesday that she will appeal the state’s decision to keep the best-selling books in Gwinnett County school libraries.

Laura Mallory, who has three children in elementary school, said she has requested an appeal of her case to Superior Court.

Mallory has tried to ban the books from Gwinnett County school library shelves since August 2005. She argues that the popular fiction series is an attempt to indoctrinate children in witchcraft.

School board members said the books are good tools to encourage children to read and to spark creativity and imagination. In May, the county decided to deny Mallory’s request.

The state Board of Education backed Gwinnett’s stance in December, voting without discussion to uphold the county’s decision.

Mallory said she’s ready for a legal fight. She said she’s already contacted a potential expert witness to lend support to her case. And she said supporters who urged her to continue the case have sent her “significant donations” to help pay legal fees.

The tattoo has scabbed.

It's funny, I can run my fingers over it and know which part I'm feeling.
