My wife and many of our friends are involved with a local chapter of the American Business Womens Association, and every year the ABWA has a 'Woman of Excellence' awards dinner. This year our friend Mindy was one of the honorees.


Here's Shelley and I. We did some professional photos, but it will be a while till I see them. As usual, I was the only guy in a kilt!


Mindy and Me.

This event is supposed to be Black-Tie, but I'd bet almost half of the men there were in business suits, half of them not even in dark ones! I kind of feel sorry for some of the ladies, this is a big deal for them, they get all dolled up, and their escort is wearing a tan suit, blue shirt and an ugly tie! But that's a rant for another time....
