The Quickening continues. Ling, Luke, her mom, and Tien-Lee arrived today. We all went to lunch at Coastal Kitchen in Seattle. We were trying to control a tired and ever-testier Luke. Some bald guy in my line-of-sight gave me one or two funny looks. I didn’t think anything of it except, “I’ve paid barely a modicum of attention to the guy - why is he looking at me as if I’ve been staring at him for an hour.”
After a while it occurred to me that the guy looked very much like Neil Stephenson. By the time I left lunch I was pretty convinced.
Now that I’ve got home and checked the Interweb for photos, I can confirm, yes indeed, it was him. And he looked about as friendly as he does in this photo.
I guess the follow up comment is, “who cares.” But at least it reinforces that Seattle is a very interesting place to live.
