Fairfax County, Virginia
When we awoke this morning my
laptop was dead!! Without it, we have no Email, we can't store
our photos, and we can't check the news on the Internet. In
a state of panic, we took it to the Apple Store that we had
found the day before and left it for pickup after golf.
We had a wonderful round of golf
with Ray Vickery. It was a beautiful day, and although we
didn't score well, it felt good to get outside for a while.
Upon returning to the Apple Store, we found the laptop alive
and well. It has worked perfectly since then.
We attended a party at the home
of John and Caroline Oakes in the evening and had a fantastic
time. The other guests were Ken and Bucky O'Donnell (John's
parents), Ray and Ann Vickery, and Fred Mitchell. For those
of you who don't know, this is the Tisoft inner circle. Together,
we have won battles that couldn't be won and we have endured
losses that seemed unbearable. The love and respective we
share is boundless.
When we arrived, we were greeted
by a large banner which said, "Welcome Tree Top Flyers". Caroline
had planned an "Around the World Party" including a 12 course
meal (each course from a different country that we are going
to visit), and a table decorated with an airplane and maps
of the continents. There was an easel with a large map of
the world from which I gave a stirring address, well at least
everyone stayed awake. We dined, drank, shared our 'war stories'
(again), laughed, cried, and hugged until midnight before
returning to our hotel exhausted. It was a memorable evening.
