I have finally decided to seek initiation into the Gardnerian Wiccan tradition. I have been thinking about this for a while, did a few minor Tarot card readings, etc. I have self-identified as Pagan since about 1991.

Pretty nifty! Canada’s parliament has voted to extend equal marriage rights nationwide, and equal marriage rights just became law in Spain as well. A solid majority favor equal rights in Spain and Canada. Too bad that the US seems to be moving backwards. Okay, so sometimes it’s pathetic how little it takes to amuse me. I was watching the Daily Show, and they had a commercial for a local business. I was trying to remember if it was the branch my Mom worked at, when they had a shot of her. Most cool!

We had somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 people, which was about the same/slightly down from last year.

She seemed to have . . . → Read More: Miss Kitty passes on Deb and I finished the newsletter this weekend, and I am about to go pick it up for folding tomorrow. I had a small antiseptic fit (a term my family uses to mean a bout of housekeeping), and have the place semi-presentable for folding tomorrow.
