Ted,

Don't send him back here or we will all drown. (no smiley)  <gr>

You must be paying Sandy overtime!  Good grief now she's stuck with two of
you!!!!!!!!

Well just be glad you are "experienced" photojournalists - or you might be
walking around in the rain just like the tourists (and like we used to do!)

Hope you two have a great visit and that the weather clears up.  I have
shot up so much film with my new Noct that now I have to choose between
more film and taking Mom out!!  (actually the problem is not the amount of
film I have shot, not that much, but having to pay for the darn thing)

Take care

Dick
