Well Jerry we've always involved each other in what we are doing both in 
home and business as she is the secretary of my company and my wife of life! 
Sure I've bought all kinds of gear without Irene ever knowing about it until 
one day she says... "How is that new camera working out?" with a big smile. 
Knowing I hadn't mentioned it earlier.

We're basically a wonderful pair, sure I've given her on more than one 
occasion reason to kill me during the 60 years we've been married, but my 
good fortune is she is a damn fine woman and a fantastic wife and I've 
relied on her good wisdom all these years! So why not when it comes to 
popping close to $8000 for a digital camera? Business or not?

It's called you get what you give! And we've always given to each other what 
we'd like back from the other! See that's what it's all about! Thank you.
Dr. ted and wife Irene!
