I've discovered that I'm not getting weaker the older I get, but in fact quite a bit stronger. Yesterday I lifted a $100 bag of groceries with one arm, like it was nothing. I couldn't do that in my twenties!

In the end, I decided on the F2.8... In recent months, I've used the 24-105 F4L much more than the 24-70 2.8L because of that extra telephoto reach, and I have to say it works very well except at sunset and indoors, where I struggled to take good photos without too much grain. At those times, I missed the 24-70 F2.8L. That's why I ruled out the 70-200 F4 and broke the piggy bank to buy the F2.8. 🙂 Some more photos with the 24-105mm F4L

Chopin Orbit by Hayato Sumino (2026) https://open.qobuz.com/album/owks3ep62vp8b Example: Interesting mix from Cateen with originals (example) and interpretations of classical works. Overall a good listen. Well presented by Sony, with the credits being Hayato and a pile of engineers.

Another vinyl record I bought in London.... it needed a couple of passes through the ultrasonic cleaner but it's in perfect condition now. Baby Huey - Hard Times

Happy belated birthday!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!!! Sorry for the delay - it's been a super busy weekend! Had a good birthday week with Florence and the Machine on Tuesday, dinner on Thursday with a bestie, watched Rushmore with a friend of mine who is going to start teaching at St. John's High School next year (that is where it is filmed) on Friday, dinner and a Dash (Houston women's soccer team) with a bunch of lezzie friends on Saturday, and now I'm in the Denver airport waiting to go to Durango for the week.

Can't see it. Imgur are still blocking content to those in the UK. All I see is a blue screen with "Content not viewable in your region" in it. Yeah, I know I could stump up for a VPN account to get around that. But I'm darned if I'll kowtow to Imgur's fit of pique against UK citizens.

Meanwhile at a Publix in the South...

Now we are using My Whoosh... no bad.

My first girlfriend in those far far away teens, seemed a twin of Gvantsa. Fantastic performance. I love tango.

I thought of Dick Van Dyke too.
