Doing it in threes...

[triadruid]

Brought my leather-bound journal with me to work today. Ostensibly, this was to have been the journal I kept my ADF Dedicant's Program materials in; it has entries from October, 2001, and then a dry spell. Oops.

However, I *was* clever enough to write down in it some significant dates concerning my spiritual evolution:
Samhain 1996 (not 1997 as I'd previously thought) is when I decided for sure that I was pagan.
October 1999, I found Druidry to be a more precise expression of that belief.
Spring 2002, I joined Ritual Teams at Gaia Community...
2005, I (re)start my Dedicant's Program...

I'm fairly certain that I stopped being actively Christian about 1993 (when I left home and church was no longer just an escape from a bad situation), and in 1990 I was serving as an altar boy in a small Anglican church in San Antonio, if memory serves. I hope it doesn't take until 2008 for me to finish my DP, but we'll see... anyway, mildly amusing.

Finished Guns of the South last night this morning at about 2am; it was significantly better than I feared going into it. I actually picked up the wrong book (science fiction alternate-history of the Civil War, not How Few Remain, which is I believe straight alternate-history fiction and the start of his larger series, to boot). However after some initial misgivings of Johnny Reb with an AK-47, it came out very well overall. Not for everyone, certainly; if it helps, I suspect Harry Turtledove and Robert Jordan have very similar writing styles (I wouldn't be surprised if that was true, since RJ is a graduate of the Citadel or VMI, I am reminded).

Now, on to my next (3rd?) meeting of the day, and hopefully an end to those sorts of festivities. By which I mean meetings, not reading, or Druidry. *yawn*
