Jaffa and Me 

This morning I drove out to the South Shore to visit Jaffa, a friend from college I hadn't seen in many many years. We went for lunch and he took me on a tour of his workplace at the Zildjian factory, where Zildjian Cymbals are cast, finished and tested. The company has been family-owned since its founding in 1623 in Turkey. Jaffa introduced me to one of the owners, a 15th generation Zildjian. He also introduced me to one of the two IT guys and I got to see how they're using server virtualization in a corporate setting. (He did not introduce me to Carlos.)
