How time flies since blah, blah, blah.....

Yes, I am sorry for an absence of three months from my last posting.

On the eve of my European tour, I feel compelled to blog a little to make up for the lost time.

Let me begin with another snapshot of the Old Girl ... Colours Key West

and my little car " Ms. Thing " (with the blue top)

I am no closer to my quest to connect with the Colours Family to invite all for a silver anniversary visit to Colours Oasis Resort in San Jose, Costa Rica, so I offer a mulitple posting adding several new names to our

" Most Wanted List ".

I have fond memories of the Tampa crew. Many names but always Susie, Ed and Dr. Mark top them all. I was going through "the photos" and to my surprise I found Susie and Dr. Mark sailing in Key West with Jeff Boscoe of Denver. I never remembered this connection so I add this group of three to the list.

and

Jeff Boscoe (snorkeling on the left)

As Dee would say, this now makes it only 2 degrees of separation...and with that thought, a few photos later, I find one with her (in the colourful top) also sailing in Key West with a gang of boys. All names escape me. Someone please help identify them or just turn yourself in . . . the punishment will be swift and sweet !

I will be in Italy, France and Spain for the next month but promise to return full of energy to continue my work.

Costa Rica is in Green Season with lush tropical green everywhere. Rates are lower and a pre-Season visit could be just the answer to the blues of that economic mess in the States. Mention our anniversary for a special reduced rate to visit until December 15th, 2008.

Pura Vida, JAMES

p.s. Key West Business Guild will be celebrating an Anniversary as well - thirty something, November 21th, 2008 so they are calling all old timers also back home for a visit !
