Been to Reston before?  It's like the "Twilight Zone".  Can't have any
business signs or exposed storefront because it's a "planned community".
First time I was there it took me two hours to find the Tandem Computers
building.  It's close enough to Manassas that you can easily get to the
battlefield in a half an hour.

Is the "Cracked Claw" still around?  I loved that place!  Used to have a
T-shirt that said "I got crabs at the Cracked Claw."

Speaking of eats, and a thread I just can't give up, there used to be a
place called "The Black-Eyed Pea" near Herndon, VA.  Anybody know if it's
still there.  They used to serve soul food "family-style".  You'd pay one
price and sit at a big table with a bunch of other folks (total strangers)
and pass around big platters and bowls--family style!  I haven't been there
since '89, so it may be long gone.

All right!!!  It's been a few years since I sat down to a bushel of crabs
with a bunch of good friends.  Now we've got folks from Maryland down to
Richmond -- this is gonna be great!  Let's think about a time and place to
meet -- howz that?  If Chester doesn't get here in time to join us -- no
problem!  We can just do it all over again when he does get here.
