"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt -

More about Barry:"love to hear from freinds of all kinds, past and present. Middle age is making me realize we work too much and loved too little, shared not enough. Make up for some lost time seems like the thing to do.
Happy, positive, forecful, inquisitive, tolerant, talkative, empathetic, generous, competitive, helpful, always seeking love, and peaceful relationships, I naturally manage chaos to a level of normalcy, problem solver, change maker, not accepting of status quo, challenge the norm, push the limits, take risk, bit of an adrenaline head, exceed expectations of others, willing to compromise, live to fight another day, calculating in business. I love nature, animals, hunting, fishing, outdoors, beauty in all forms, happy people, kids of all ages. I don't want to grow up - when I play, and I want to work hard and grow fast when I work. I feel 20 most days, and I look 50+ all the time. I am a clown regularly, as it makes other people happy and laugh and costs nothing. I value a starry night, a sunset, a storm, a road trip, a meteor shower, a non-stop run striaght down the ski hill, racing my friend and my son, a ride down the sledding hill on a flexible flyer, and seeing my son happy and successful, all about the same. Each is excellent, and the next small thing, or then next big thing, is equally anticipated. Every day above ground is a plus!".
