Thanks for all for the kind words and sorry I have not responded
individually. We went to see Endgames on Fri morning at 1:15AM, then in
early afternoon Fri drove to Pismo Beach for a friend's wedding for which I
took 6+ rolls on the Hasselblad and boatload on the M9 (there's another
official photog there with decked out dSLR and multiple lights so I am not
under pressure). Today we went to the beach and I shot another 4+ rolls
with the Hasselblad.

Then came home and watched Game of Thrones. Holy m***********. NO SPOILER
on either Endgame or GoT please... but ...ooo boy...

(Yes, I know most of you may not care about the movie nor the TV series...)
