Now we need a shot of your dorky hat. :-) Oh please no. How could a Nikon or Canon owner be expected to correctly identify a modern Sigma lens - we learnt years ago to avoid them :) Pete

Apple is around, of course, but the indoor lacrosse team has >stolen away- i believe to Seattle or Portland. I usually wear a beat-up, no logo, baseball-type cap. Last week we were out on Park Avenue (an up-scale shopping area in Winter Park) and we stopped in the Orvis store. My wife, who hates my cap, saw a Tilly hat on the rack and put it on me. It wasn't bad, but I saw the $72 price tag and balked. If I was as cool looking as this guy, I might have considered it: http://www.coastlineadventures.com/images/P/Tilley-T2-Hat-Rob-P.jpg We were down on Park Avenue to exchange a blouse I'd purchased for my wife. I have no idea of women's sizes, so when I shop I just grab any size of something I like and expect her to exchange it for the right size. Someone complimented me in a post on being married for 46 years. The trick is, when buying a gift like this, to pick a size that is obviously going to be too small. To give you an idea of how fashionably turned-out I can be, I sometimes wear a shirt that has the Orlando Renegades logo embroidered on it. The Renegades were a USFL team that folded after the 1985 season. I got it as a promo when I bought season tickets. A couple of the Renegade's coaching staff are still around. Steve Mariucci was in the mix for the USC job and maybe as coach of the Oakland Raiders. Lee Corso is a talking head for ESPN. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
