Thanks for looking George and my battle against the evil forces of Sciatica
has had some real good turns in the past days but then a few not so good. I
stood in the back of a movie house tonight after thinking I'd be able to sit
though a movie and with no pills.
Today was my first under medicated day. Not having to take the meds every
six hours. I have a new office chair I have ready to assemble tomorrow
morning. If my but likes it and other positive forces continue I'll be
posting more and uploading pix like before. The biggest news is I'm seeing a
special spinal guy Friday July 7th at Union Square. So I'll be in good
hands. His head shot looks great. I have as of yesterday a main doctor for
the first time in years. Not some dumb clinic. I think she is a real good
smart and experienced doctor who it looks like she went to the best medical
school there is/was. So I'm in good hands again on the medical front.
I have to not carry things. The past two days I carried not my d700 which
weight two pounds but my D40x which ways one. Though today I had my 12-24 on
it which splits the difference. The compactness of the glass they'd made for
the 1.5 crop format makes me love to use that format again. And  the sensors
just keep getting better perhaps one day I'll get another DX body. And you
can shoot movies with them what's not to like?
