Oh, I am so glad that you enjoyed it, Ellen. Thank you for those kind words about the characterizations being spot on. It's the way I like to imagine them-- playful, yet loving.
It's been an annual thing, meeting up with friends from my old hometown (and more recently, adding my good friend from up here) and going to the Ohio Renaissance Faire. It hit me while watching The Swordsmen's Show at last year's Faire what a great S/E bunny it would make, to have Elijah and the girls get Sean up on stage. So after percolating for a year it actually managed to sprout a smidgen of a plot. (I shamelessly pulled things from faires of long ago. Sadly, the Theatre in the Ground no longer does Gilgamesh, so I don't remember many of the details anymore except for "Inky-doo." And the "Cheat to win," throat-slitting joust was easily the most fun of all the ones we've seen. The throat-cutting took us all by surprise. Poor Sir Eric definitely got the worst of things-- some of the other chants for the bad guy's side were "Sir Eric has a limp lance" and "Sir Eric mounts his horse from the rear.")
Anyhow, I hope that your birthday was marvelous and that you and your dogs are all doing well.
