All is forgotten.
Had I known that you are an old fart like me, I would have left it alone. We
don't want any heart attacks here.
BTW I live in Toronto, but I'm not born Canadian, so hockey and skating are
not my favorite pastimes.
But I do have a passion for photography, so I'll always try to add my
comments, and I'll always listen for advise or constructive criticism.
Regards, Jeff.
