Hello,

 The disease is still with me even after my better half walked out on me.
It seems that the love the Leica's has for me is everlasting.  They are
still with me and seem to tag along with me.  I might have to take a pick
which Leica I want to be buried with when I give up the ghost.

Regards,
David
