title: I had a 17 hour
---

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](http://www.mzbfm.com), she was also a founding member of the [Society for Creative Anachronism](http://www.sca.org), of which I am a member. The very name of the Society has been attributed to her.
