Ted -

I still wear those photo vests!!  It's the best way to get lots of equipment
on an airplane without being charged extra for baggage.  They haven't
started weighing passengers yet!  Everything I can fit into a Domke vest is
free on the plane.  I don't really care what I look like - especially when
people are traveling like this:  http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-482574

Your grandson sounds like a chip off the old block.  I just hope there is
still a photojournalism career available when he graduates!!  The iReporters
seem to be taking over for free and a possible byline. :-(

LOL
