Sempre Fly!

For the Benefit of Mr. Kite
March 2006 Washington, DC

One of the hallmarks of a truly good friendship is being able to see each other again for the first time in years and years and being able to pick up right where you left off.  It's as if the interviening years simply weren't there, or that you've stepped into a wormhole that brought you right back with the other person just a day or so after you last saw them.

Within just a few minutes of seeing Chuck, Jaime and Michael on Saturday I said, "I can't believe I ever lost track of you guys."

Chuck, the kite flier seen above, was the owner and proprietor of The Kite Site, the Georgetown kite establishment that he ran for over ten years.  He was the person who gave me my first job and brought me into a world that changed my life -- for the better, I might add.
