Plane words
I'm spending this weekend packing for eBay Live: flat shoes, check; camera with long lens to get piccie of Meg (yes, I'm a fangirl), check; books for 36 hours of plane journies... not checked. Because everything I want to take, I get worried that some person in US immigration will take one look at and disapprove of and put me on the first plane back to cheese-eating monkey land. I desperately want to get going on Ronald Hutton's The Triumph of the Moon, but I think that one's asking for trouble. Books about evolution? I worry they'll get me sent to Bible boot camp.

I'm sure I'm totally overreacting here, but everything I read about America just says that if you don't toe the religious party line, someone somewhere gets upset. And turning up in Boston going, hello, I'd like to visit your convention but I'm bringing my evil European thoughts with me... well, maybe I'll find something a little safer to take.
