This is a picture of one of those special places in my life where I've been fortunate to sit around with good friends on a cold night and feel the warmth of a fire; all the while trading tall tales and laughing until your face hurts. It's a place of honor, reverence, equality, tranquility, peace and special memories...thanks to my good friend Mike.
