Blog splat<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am taking a break from blogging for the next eight to ten days because I leave on Wednesday for the intellectual carnival that is the American Academy of Religion<\/a>–Society of Biblical Literature<\/a> combined annual meeting.<\/p>\n

It’s in Philadelphia this year. Our last meeting there was in 1995, and I spent much of the time walking the steets looking for sites and building associated with the career of Charles Leland<\/a>, author of Aradia: Or the Gospel of the Witches<\/em><\/a> and Etruscan Roman Remains<\/em><\/a>, among other things.<\/p>\n

This year should be different: We have the first official Pagan Studies sessions<\/a>, plus I will be meeting with my publisher to determine such weighty matters as what comes after the colon in the book title now tentatively known as Her Hidden Children: Paganism and Nature Religion in America<\/em>. They are telling me that the publication date is March 2006 and that the paperback will be $19.95. As I know more, I will post it.<\/p>\n

I am not bothering to take a laptop computer this year, so I will be summarizing our sessions when I get home.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there is this: one of today’s Google searches that sent a visitor to this blog: “Known Hookers With Cops Pueblo.” Just another reason why smart searchers always go to the Advanced Search Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
