Every so often I take what I call a "sanity vacation". I stop thinking about work and family and community for a long weekend. I try to go somewhere exotic to fill my mind with new thoughts and think things through. On this trip, I met a former colleague and friend John Carter in the Netherlands. John is one of the few people I know who moves at the same fast pace that I do on a trip and listens to similar music. John and I met again in Europe in May, 2001 in Austria and the Czech Republic. John had been to the Netherlands numerous times before and was an excellent tour guide.
