A New Mexico church is burning Harry Potter, Stephen King, and other books because they consider them the works of the devil. The event is fueled based on the pastor's Christmas Eve sermon called, "The Baby Jesus or Harry Potter?"

I agree with the author of the Harry Potter book who sums it up, "I have met thousands of children now, and not even one time has a child come up to me and said, Ms. Rowling, I'm so glad I've read these books because now I want to be a witch."[from Yahoo UK]

Last day of oh-one or aught-one. Man, that's one thing I miss about the 1900s... it was so much easier to '88, '94, etc. Now, we're stuck in the ohs.

Ah, it'll get better when we reach 2010 and then we can say, "I remember back in the '10s (or teens), when I walked five miles to the grocery in the snow..." Wow, one more year, and it'll have been 100 years since my grandmother was born. Alas, she passed in '97 at the ripe age of 94.

I must be a big-time girl geek. I've spent both holiday weekends working on my Web site and computer stuff. Funny thing is... I'm happy doing it... except when I am stepping on bugs or testing. Duh, I know, who likes to do that?
