Christian me "young son,"

How be you and I take a run at 5 a.m. when you're 69? :)

I thought I might thrash you me "Boy" behind the barn for not adding some
smileys to your comments:  "elderly people" :):)  One thing you'll learn
some day that "elderly" is merely a frame of mind for some folks. :) Not
this one! A pretty skirt and a well working Leica I can handle very well
thank you. :) :)

At 69 I thought you might like to know that this "elderly working
photographer" still puts in long days and short nights, travels the country
and around the world on assignments and carries a bag full of Leica gear
that weights over 60 pounds.:)

Change? hell man I love it! Any time Leica can deliver a better camera and
twinkie things to make the old ones work easier, I'm for it. However, it
better be logical and practical. Otherwise, why change for changes sake
alone?

Have nice day my son! :)

from one of the "elderly Leica people" :)

P.S.  Was this one of our "standard comments?"  :):)
