Oh, and yesterday I had lunch with Richard Gariott.

it's good to hear from you. How are you and the house etc.?

that Garriott fellow seems pretty successful. Any chance of a career move for you?

pretty fantastic. Boss came to stay for the last week, and a great time was had by all. He was here for an Ultima game weekend; all the people who were NPCs in the game came and reprised their roles in LARP

I didn't get to go but I got to see the aftermath and raid a keg of truly delightful berry cider.

We pumped about seven bottles of it out and ran off with it

I regret not going... I would love to, next time. If there is a next time.

sounds like a fun time!
