MUD/MUSH or How Andy and I Met Part I

A lot of people are curious as to how I met Andy. I've usually given somewhat garbled explanations involving something about MUSH and Pern. I decided that this year, in the days leading up to our 13th wedding anniversary, I would try to give a more thorough explanation of what MUSH and Pern are, and on the day itself explain how we met and became friends via those two media. Read or skip as you will.
