Not exactly the Olympic Games…
(Sometimes, irony not only catches fire but then floats up into the sky and drifts away…) I’ll just give you the short(ish) version: A few people in the local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) decided they wanted … Continue reading
If I ever became an Anachronist…
A few times, after I’ve mentioned that my twin is a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, someone has asked me why I’m not. I usually say something along the lines of, ‘Can you imagine their reaction if they … Continue reading
something about dinosaurs and obscure fiction-reference humor
One more thing today… This is about a weird idea my twin had because of a scene in Roger Zelazny’s novel Nine Princes in Amber. Here are the relevant snippets from that scene: After about three miles we came to … Continue reading
Sometimes, Creative Anachronists are creative.
This is what the clone and the sister-in-law were doing yesterday: It’s the local SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) group’s display at the Curry County (Clovis, NM) fair. The photo has been (badly) edited to hide the booths on either … Continue reading

Updates: What Weaver and His Clone Have Been Doing Lately
Yesterday I finished copyediting a rather longish short story (just under 17K words), and my brain is full of military sci-fi acronyms and jargon. Part of a copyeditor’s job is to make sure all the invented words are used consistently. Another part … Continue reading
It was just the one Siamese cat, actually.
The clone has SCA sword fighting practice on Saturdays. Well, it’s actually more than just sword fighting, especially since he makes new weapons when he gets bored. (On Friday, he made a falchion, which he’d been wanting for years.) As … Continue reading
“I swear, I’ve never murdered an ax — it was an accident.”
The clone is making himself a new ax… right now. He saw a photo online yesterday of a particularly real-looking SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) pole ax, and now he isn’t satisfied with the ax he already has (to be … Continue reading
