[Leica] paw #9 self portrait [img] OT & Half Hidden

Hi, Ted,

Congratulations on your 79th!  One benefit in having an engineer to engineer 
discussion with my doctor is that he has enough confidence in my judgement 
that I am allowed to manage my own medication.  This makes life a whole lot 
simpler for me.
