It's going to seem like a long work day, and I'll be humming the old Rod Stewart ditty Tonight's the Night but not for the same reason as he was: A couple of month's ago I found a beautiful Spotmatic with a S-M-C 50mm f1.4 in original soft case at the thrift store for a song. When I took

I've always been the sort of person that is happy for others' good fortune, but I apologize to any who instead tend to go to the Dark Side emotionally. That was not my intent. I will keep the story's end to myself if it is going to be disturbing to anyone. (Odds are that it will be some Asanuma or
