Ha! A case of teaching the old dog new tricks!

I met Inman and Athena a few years back at the Council of Crowns in An
Tir. Each of teh baronies was assigned teh care and feeding of a set of
royals-  Adiantum got Ansteorra. I had the privilege of feeding Inman
and Athena and their Seneschale and Constable (or was he Marshal?). Very
nice people. They seemed pleasantly surprised that I made contact ahead
of time to inquire about allergies, etc (and was I glad I did! Inman
can't eat beef!), they liked the food, and Inman especially liked my
brownies!

Other than breaking a band in my transmission that weekend, it was a
good time. You should say hi to him for me.

See- I added food content to your OT post!
