"We shall not cease from exploration, & the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started & know the place for the first time." TS Eliot ............."20 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." Mark Twain
