Boy, I could feel you creeping around - I feel much more prepared for my
meeting now - thanks.  You may recall a funny Seinfeld episode where Kramer
lets a jellybean fly into a surgical patient?  Don't want that!

I'll probably take a 135 (on the M3) because the story is about 1 particular
surgeon and I imagine I'll want some 'beads of sweat shots".  Shooting
families (sometimes grieving), children in recovery etc. will also be a
tough challenge...

Will post when I complete the gig...
Steven
