A Confession and an Epiphany
At Pennsic, I met a gentleman of my acquaintance, who greeted me with "Hello, Great-Grandpa". He was the protege of the protege of my protege. And I didn't know that. And I should have.

That wasn't it either. It's SF/Fantasy. Planet Plainsborough. -
Superheroes and the Real World
I wonder if the folks at Law and the Multiverse and the folks at the Real-Life Superheroes project are aware of each other. If not, they should be.
