Now I understand why you have departed from the Canadian norm of politeness. A visit to your gerontologist should fix that.<<<<<< No I've got 10 years to go to make 90! However, I'm fully looking forward to it so I can. " still kick ass if necessary!" :-) And not be sitting around doing diddly squat waiting to stop breathing! That ain't going to happen in any event for a long time yet!! Be prepared! Quite frankly I do hard ass 1 hour work outs with a personal trainer 3 mornings a week, some of the young guys just shake their heads watching! Plus power walking most other mornings, a minimum of half hour. WHY? Because I don't believe in all this mamby pamby whining crap about getting old! Yep have a few aches some days, but screw it, get over it, there's lots of folks worse off and I don't intend on joining them! It's quite simple really, stay young of heart, spirit and attitude and you'll keep going! And do that what gives you the greatest enjoyment in life... being a photographer, even if it's at a slower pace! You're right, we Canadian's are polite, sometimes to a point of stupidity. When in fact we should give some peoples of the world a damn good kick in the ass to wake up and stop screwing up the world! Oh, and the gerontologist? Hell he wanted to give me Viagra the other day? "Not necessary!" says I!! I'm not old enough, besides the world is still standing just fine! ;-) I told him it wasn't necessary for young guys like me who are going to survive as a photographer until I'm a 100! Told him to call me in 20 years, I might need it by then! ;-) :-) It's called, "The Art of Positive Thinking! ;-) And so you were saying? ted
