Project Description
Fifth Stop, Washington, DC!
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and also known as D.C. or just Washington, is the capital city of the United States. The U.S. Constitution provides for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress; the district is therefore not a part of any U.S. state (nor is it one itself). The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River near the country’s East Coast. The City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the national capital, and Congress held its first session there in 1800. In 1801, the territory, formerly part of Maryland and Virginia (including the settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria), officially became recognized as the federal district.

We have been East Coast living the past few weeks and now we’re back in the DMV for the first time since we moved 9-years ago. So, Melissa is improvising for pizza.

Speaking of Foxboro… Stu and I got together again for the first time in well over a year to talk about Red hat Inc, and Hybrid. Has Stu gone to the Darkside and become a Linux expert? Or is there more to the story about his role at Red Hat?

Living in an RV with my wife as we run our business and deliver this new offering has been a growth experience. Today marks 3-weeks of CTOA Road Trip. I’ve learned that Melissa is good at holding the mirror up to me.

We are at the mall we shopped at when we lived in MD. Back in another life time, I’d watch my then toddler grand baby try to make new friends as @MrsCto and @ELainDee shopped. Looking forward to kids playing again in the mall. #CTOARoadTrip pic.twitter.com/fvg9uQ6QPq

Interestingly, about 90% of the people in this mall in MD have on masks. It’s very different than anywhere else we’ve been so far. Is public mask wearing still the socially expected thing in your part of the U.S.

Illinois doesn't do much right. But our toll roads are relatively inexpensive. When I commuted daily back and forth from almost the start to the end of the toll road, I paid roughly $75/month. We've paid $271.29 in less than a month on the east coast! #CTOARoadTrip

We didn’t get to see everyone we wanted in the DMV, but Nathaniel and Nikki Avery showed Melissa and I what the wee hours of the night means. It was so nice reconnecting. We first met them at VMworld 2014.
