I had a 17 hour workday yesterday, all without net access. Oh, the horror! Ten hours were spent driving through dark foggy rain, so that almost made up the excitement I missed on the net.

While I was away, I received notice that Marion Zimmer Bradley passed away over the weekend, after suffering a heart attack last week. Besides being a prolific author of Fantasy fiction, she was also a founding member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, of which I am a member. The very name of the Society has been attributed to her.
