I had a moment this afternoon that crossed over into surreal — I went to drop my car off for an oil change and proceeded to walk home (my house is only about 2 blocks from the Goodyear).

Robert Asprin, RIP

May 23, 2008

Apparently Bob passed away on Wednesday, but lrainey just brought it to my attention. He was only 62. I had no idea he was such a legend in the SCA, but it makes sense. I will miss seeing him at Dragon*Con and various other conventions we frequented…he was someone who brought joy into my life, and I’m sorry that…
