The End of the World...Again.

So just when we think it is all over for the freaky little old preacher of doom in California, I mean, come on, he got the end date wrong twice this year; the Mayans step in. I am reading a book called Mayan December by Brenda Cooper. According to the Mayan calendar, the end of the world is December 21, 2012. Cooper's novel is an account of the odd events leading up to Dec 21 that happen to Archeoastronomer Dr.Alice Cameron and her 11 yr old daughter Nixie. Cameron is visiting the Yucatan Peninsula  for a conference. While she is there, time seems to be overlapping. Her daughter Nixie appears to be a catalyst. Why is this happening? I don't know yet- I haven't finished the book. What I do know is that we've go another year to prepare and I hope that's it for doomsday predictions. These end of the world celebrations are hard on my liver.
