Up until last Summer I'd been living a lazy life and able to read, digest and respond to any of the myriad mailings this list produces (I came back to 214 today). Early July I stopped moping sround looking for TV work and took on two different jobs which neccessitated spending some serious work time to getting things going. I started lecturing two to three days a week at schools and these are spread out around the north of England so that feeds my desire for travel, and simultaneously I took over running a camera shop which deals solely in used (and classic) photographica. In November I decided that the shop was interesting enough to devote some investment money into so I've bought it. (Cue the old story about the man who won a fortune and decided to buy a camera shop and run it until the money ran out...) Well it seems to paying its way well enough and should repay the investment easily within a year so I'm very happy with that. I'm waiting to get on-line at the shop and then I'll be able to waste my free time there talking to you guys rather than cleaning/fixing the cameras, cleaning the shop, selling gear, speaking to customers, etc. ! I came back onto the LUG after hearing that the M7 is waiting in the wings and hopefully hear some of the gossip and reaction to it, I haven't been disappointed. I shall be at FOCUS here in the UK (at Birmingham) on the Sunday, which happens pretty much at the same time as the PMA over in the 'States. I'm also looking forward to seeing whoever in Photokina again this September, the coffee's on me this time Jim ! best regards, Jem P.S. The best thing about owning a camera shop is that I've been able to cure myself of collecting! I'm happy to sell all my collected gear and just keep the user stuff! Brilliant! It's an expensive cure, but it works... - ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Brick <jim@brick.org> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 11:18 PM Subject: [Leica] Re: Jem Kime > At 08:42 AM 2/19/2002 +0000, Jem Kime wrote: > > > > <Actually, I don't care what you wrote Jem, but what I want to know is: > WHERE IN THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!!! ??? > > > >regards, > >Jem > > > regards, > > Jim > > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
