Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore.

Dream.

Discover.

Mark Twain

A Brief Note...



I haven't updated for a while, and don't have much time at the moment, but I couldn't resist posting a few of the photos I have available. Here is a one of Isabella, my cute little niece by my brother Steve and his girlfriend Sarah...don't worry, when I get back to Crested Butte there will be many more to follow!!!! I can't believe how much she is growing up...









and just for a change, here is the extended the Manchester family drinking and eating...
and here is a photo that I know will make Adrianne jealous...a Portuguese lunch...bread, cheese and wine in a beautiful tiled old restaurant in the Alfama in Lisbon....what more can you want?!!!! And yes, it was delicious, and so was the salad, grilled squid, coffee and brandy that followed...!!!
