It was fun putting faces to the names and postings that I've read for so
long.  Maybe one of these days we can do that all-Carolina Barktofest in
Columbia and get Mark, Bob and Dale Ross to come, too. Doesn't look like
JohnO is ever coming down here again for the races, so we'll just have to
proceed without him.

Richard gave us a tour of their office in Greenville - very nice and
compact.  The tour of his server room/wiring closet didn't take long! And
he *is* sitting on a paint can!  No sheep in site, but there were kittens. 
I carried my umbrella along to ward off the pending rain, and it seemed to
work.  It was just beginning to sprinkle as we broke up and Mike and I
headed for our cars.

Speaking of where people are these days, as we went through the list of
who's missing these days, the name Mark Brown was invoked.  I don't
remember if it was Mike or Richard who mentioned it, but we all laughed and
then shuddered.

I don't think we scared Tim off - he was well able to hold his own and
presented his ideas and questions in a thoughtful manner.  He has an
interesting point of view on the state of the world.
