Something that won't hinder your reaching 70.

Running is dumb

Also, that means it counts as a sports-related injury.

I have never seen an M. Night movie.

Nah, you gotta charge extra for that.

Doc said I won't start treatments again until I absolutely have to. Could be a year, could be 3-4 years yet. It depends upon growth velocity. My cancer is of the aggressive type and I've had velocity or fast growth in the past. :(

Ah, okay - thanks for the explanation. The treatment doesn't sound fun, none of it sounds fun, but if anyone can shrug off adversity and keep living life for every moment allotted to each us, I trust it'd be you.

Ha, we've taken to using that word in our house, too - Paul Hollywood uses it on British Bake-off. I'm sure the boy will use it in proper context at school some time and we'll get a call from the Vice Principal anyway.

Has M Night gotten over himself yet? His shtick was cute the first couple go-'rounds, but got old quick.

Yep. Tied up in the swimming pool.

Zohmygoodness - after all the UWA talk yesterday, B&H sends me an email announcing the unveiling of two new Sony FF UWA zooms, a 12-24 f/4 and a 16-35 f/2.8.

If they have some of that Zeiss-y goodness, it might be worth eating PB&Js and ramen for a while.

That bike is rather drab. Needs a little more color.

Took your advice before reading it. Kashi Autumn Wheat cereal, Craisins, and skim milk. Decaf cafe au lait made with more skim milk. I really wanted biscuits and jam.

Doesn't the jersey make up for it? Guess I'll need to get a new bike.

Enough color?

Can't wait. :love:

Please explain. You are a Canon guy, right? What is all the drooling over Sony and Zeiss about? Is there some interchangeability I don't know about? What am I missing?

The sun came up this morning and politics aside, the world seems ok. I'm going to live a long time, I'm sure, and my wife is in good spirits this morning. She is complaining of the right side of her torso aching but not hurting so bad that she can't handle it. I said, "Damn, Woman, you had your liver pierced! You can complain a little if you want!. :D

:D I know. I can't wait, either. I mean, for you - I'm not getting one, but the whole vicarious swag thing.

I've been shooting with Zeiss glass (almost) exclusively for a few years (I sold my last Canon lens, the TS-E 90, a little while back). I've been looking forward to moving over to a Sony a7 variant for a year or so, the FF mirrorless platform would be great for my existing glass, but bike crap was the go-to this time around. If a native mount, AF lens can give me the look that I like from my older MF lenses, I'd eventually bite the bullet and spring for it, I think.

That is later today. Time for the kitties to go get adopted. I'll miss them. :(
