The Annual Jimmy Buffett Party...

As most of you know, it's was time for the annual Jimmy Buffett 1/2 Birthday party. For those of you not familiar with this tradition...when Jerry and I moved to DC he decided that one of the things he wanted to do was to get our friends from work together at least a couple of times a year. If you don't live in this area you don't understand how difficult this can be...there is as much as a 2 hour drive from our house to some of our friends. People live on all sides of the city and commute in an hour to an hour and a half...so depending on where your house is you can be a pretty long way from those people you get close to at work. So, the idea of celebrating Jimmy Buffett's birthday was born...with one glitch...his birthday is December 24th. So, we decided to celebrate his half birthday, so every year towards the end of June we host the "Jimmy Buffett 1/2 Birthday party". Now that you are all up to speed with how this came to be...let me introduce you to the lead Parrot Head...Jerry Mraz.

At his party we have some food, so fun and some fellowship...

You will see evidence of this in the follwing pictures...
