    Lost but not forgotten

    It seems that I have not been forgotten in my absence, Thank you! I have been quite busy and haven't had much time to be on line. Besides skiing I have been busy with work and family life. In December, I broke my foot. That put a stop to any skiing for a little while. Fortunately for me...
