> Week 16 John Maxwell
> - Picked Clumpy and Kloumpios at Dulles with the usual grousing about long
> flights. Because this is their second visit I reminded them of their first
> visit when the exhausted my collection of single malt scotch and found the
> keys for my lawn mower. The neighbors had not forgotten them terrifying
> neighborhood dogs and making unusual patterns in their lawns.
>
> The lads understood and went to work clean up my documents and standards.
> We had snow on Tuesday and they pitched in with the neighbors clearing
> drives and side walks. On Wed I took them to the Manassas Bull Run civil
> war battle field so they could understand our civil war and our history
> better. Thursday when work was done we visited a couple of cider vineyards
> and wineries. They enjoyed the Jefferson style hard cider very much. After
> we were done on Friday off to a distillery for a tasting and lunch. Then
> off to the airport for their next adventure. Perfect gentlemen and they
> seemed to enjoy the side trips.
