The Hobbit to Arrive in Great Falls

Relatively late last night, I got a phone call from the elusive Boston Hobbit, insane Prius owner/tinkerer/advocate and uber geek. He will be in the DC area sometime possibly Thursday and staying for as long as I force him to by chaining his leg to the wall. Anyone interested in viewing this difficult to capture creature is welcome to, just let me know and I will attempt to make it available. It will keep him from frobbing my Prius.

Of course, Hobbit visits bring back some rather fond memories of days of old. There were the UNIX vs. VMS wars, the "you are gonna get in trouble" elevator riding sojourns, the "you must wear shoes in this hotel" admonishments, the "you're going to put an eye out with that laser" pronouncements, the wacky trip to St. Thomas including intercepting ship to shore transmissions, the "this is the air duct I slept on for 2 years" etc. etc.

The flood of memories....ah, how sweet. I wonder if I'll still be able to keep up with the boy....
