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

So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore.

Dream.

Discover.

Happy New Year...

Happy New Year to all our friends and family from chilly Crested Butte...it was -31 F or -35 Celsius this morning - no wonder I had a hard time getting my car started at 6.30 am! And now I really don't want to hear complaints about how cold it is where you are!!!

Hope everyone had a great New Year celebration and here's to a Healthy, Happy and wealthy (!) 2008.
