Finally bruce said, enough with the pictures don't make me regret buying you that! hahah got a soft shell too and some free weights and the usual other stuff. Oh and a fondue. How cool is that. You are spoiled. Gah, sounds like a fancy camera, how big is it? I had a nice Cannon SLR with a couple of zoom lenses, but I stopped carrying it 'cause it was too big. I like my Cannon digital, fairly small, decent zoom , I actually bring it when I'm out doing things. Biggest problem is not the zoom, but that it's nor very wide. But what I has is starting to get old. New point and shoot digi cams can be much better for wider images. I'm not an expert by any means, but I know a little about cameras. I'm looking forward to seeing yours.
I'll need someone to take pictures of me for the magazines.

The one I sold 200 tickets to and we are having at your place. Is that a problem? Nope. Eddy knows to call the police. He keeps the university kids nextdoor in line. Partygirl goes to jail?
