RE: A PDML luncheon.
Thank you for the greeting. I guess you can say that the LX is my gift to myself - as I ignore all the screwmount lenses I got recently. My hope is to make it to Italy in the near future again. This time without a tour group and truly enjoy. Of course that would mean a PDML meeting or two :-) Ciao, Cesar -Original Message- From: Gianfranco Irlanda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 5:15 PM To: Cesar Subject: Re: A PDML luncheon.

Re: A PDML luncheon.
Cesar failed to mention that it is his birthday today... Happy Birthday again Cesar! It was an enjoyable afternoon. I echo the sentiments. I'm looking forward to getting together again.

A PDML luncheon.
I got back a little while ago from a fantastic time in the Inner Harbor, Baltimore and lunch with our very own Christian Skofteland. While waiting for him to show up near the Torsk submarine (on display in the harbor) I had the opportunity to observe the seal feeding and took a few shots. See Christian, I did not mind your getting stuck in traffic :-) We had lunch at one of the restaurants in the Harbor. We chatted on things photographic, and Pentax, we even had a terse recapitulation of the latest OT posts here :-) I had my MZ-S and LX, he had an MX and LX. And of course an assortment of lenses. It was the very first time I heard someone else using an LX! I always thought mine were loud with its distinctive THUNK. Though mine did win the 'most battle scars' award! I can't imagine having more than two LX-unatics together! That would be a sight. It was unseasonably warm and sunny with the clouds showing up at the end. There were good photo opportunities and yes, we may have even gotten shots of each other! I always find it most frustrating on one day meetings. It seems we try to find out so much from one another and get a lot of insight beyond just the photography. If I didn't have to eventually (good thing my supervisor is not on this list) get back here to work I would have easily spent the rest of the afternoon with him. I have yet to find a bad apple in our bunch. Though I have only met six people from this list. This outing today makes me look forward to Grandfather Mountain even more next year. I will echo the sentiments mentioned in the past here - if ever you get a chance to get together with a PDMLer, do it. We are a great bunch (as he wipes away a tear and reaches for a handkerchief ;-) We left saying we will get together again the next time I am through, Cesar - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
