As folks know, I\u2019ve been writing about the upcoming family reunion<\/a> of the Weinbaum side of the family. Last night, I had a family reunion of a different sort, when \"the_lone_piper\"<\/a>the_lone_piper<\/a> and his friend, Maria, came over to visit. \"the_lone_piper\"<\/a>the_lone_piper<\/a> is a relative on my father\u2019s side; his great grandmother was my grandfather\u2019s sister (which makes us second cousins, once removed). He was in the area for the 2007 Highland Games<\/a> in Pomona, for his hobby is music and bagpipes. Those of you in the Davis area may have heard of him, or if not, may have heard him :-). He lives up in Davis, and regularly plays his pipes in the area (and he does know of a few of the Prankster folks, as confirmed by ellipticcurve<\/a>, who joined us for dinner).<\/p>\n

In any case, this was my first time meeting him, and it was a great evening. We had fun talking about all sorts of subjects and fandoms, moving the discussion from this and that. Yet another relative to put on the \u201cneat person\u201d side of the column! Hopefully we\u2019ll get to see him again the next time he\u2019s in the area… and that time, we\u2019ll invite over my Uncle Tom<\/a> to explore more how music runs in the family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
