So I just never get far enough behind that I have to run after her :-) She would also recognize it as a local joke (from G?teborg/Gothenburg). I have a feeling the women might put another twist to the line .... something about not chasing trams or men would be my guess :-) Thanks for the supporting words about that monkey on my back. I've gone long enough now that the physical grief has subsided. If I start again now it would be due to pure silliness (and stupidity). I should be able to make it from here. I keep translating it into x number of films a day ... and Alastair had the right take on it ... after a year I could probably justify a new Summilux. I haven't purchased a new Leica lens since the 70'ies. That's when I bought all of mine. Treating myself to a new top-of-the-line lens wouldn't be bad at all ... But most of all it feels good knowing I have a little balance of authority over my son now. I'm not very authoritarian with their upbringing, but being able to quit lends my opinion about him not abusing the substance a good bit of clout ... and I _use_ it. This was his idea. He asked me to quit in order to help him quit. But you know ... a Summilux to boot? Who's complaining? Even my wife kind of (only kind of, mind you) suggested it. Daniel
