Irene,

Remember when you and Ted were here in San Francisco? Remember the
agreement we made? OK, here's the scoop. Ted is planning on buying some
more Leica lenses and two R8 motor drives. I guess winders aren't fast
enough. And Irene, do you know of any Leica lenses that Ted does not have?
The only lenses that I can think of are those new super expensive APO and
ASPH lenses. They haven't been out long enough for Ted to have all of them
yet. Anyway, here is the tip. When he gives you a new pair of Leica
binoculars (he calls it the "biggo" bribe), you will know he has the lenses
and motors. So you can be coy and say something like "oh honey, that was so
thoughtful of you, did you happen to get anything for yourself as well?"

Then after the stuttering stops, you'll have the answer to one of lifes
greatest mysteries.

;-)
