Mike Martchitelli (aka, Smurf) Turns 40

There is a rather alarming epedemic of 40th birthdays breaking out among my friends.  Most recently, my college friend and swimming teammate Mike Marchitelli (known affectionately as Smurf), achieved this milestone.  His wife Jennifer arranged a big party in their current hometown of Crested Butte, Colorado, where Jen and Mike run an Italian restaurant.  Another college friend, Rob Clark and I, along with seemingly every resident of Crested Butte were in attendence.  Here are some pictures, which probably won't be that interesting to those of you who don't know Mike and Jen.  I thought I'd post them anyway -- you might want to take a look if not for the people, for the truly breathtaking scenery.
