I was chatting with a very nice customer about setting up an automted job for backing up a database to disk. A while ago, the subject of the Society for Creative Anachronism came up and it turns out that she is active with it. She mentioned that she had almost picked up the phone and addressed me as "Lord Gareth" (My name in the SCA was Lord Gareth the Eccentric of Saint Albans.)
She mentioned that she had been talking with folks there just before I called about a way to automatically do a backup, and that our minds were obvciously working alike because we were secretly royalty. (Okay, I just got my Award of Arms, but I was never royalty in the SCA.)
It took everything I had NOT to quip, "Well, I don't know about royalty, but I am definitely a queen!"
