I am in Roanoke, VA this weekend attending the SAMLA conference. It is now just after 8:00 P.M. on Saturday, November 13, 2004. In a little while, I and the remaining Georgia State contingent will embark on an expedition up a mountain to see a star and explain a mystery. It could be dangerous, or it could simply be cold.

I will explain later when I return home. However, if I don't report by week's end, fear the worst, email me to make sure, then tell my family to stay the hell away from Roanoke and to fear the star.
