Easter Miracle

We attended the two big local conventions this weekend, Sakuracon and Norwescon, and still managed to have some Easter dinner.  The Serpent Lord attended a panel with Neal Stephenson.  (We are fans of his.)  He was impressed with what the panelists were saying about their writing process (spar with weapons, eat, talk, write.  This reminds us of our involvement with Tres Espadas.) But Neal Stephenson was late, and when he rushed into the room after the panel had started, he almost-tripped/stumbled over The Serpent Lord.  The Serpent Lord was impressed with Stephenson's "ninja like reflexes" that kept him from falling on his face - a testament to the value of weapons sparring.
