  1. 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!

  2. 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

  4. 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.

  5. On the Sony side of life focussing is quite a bit worse on the F4 version of their 70-200 so I'd want to make sure you aren't losing performance there as the 1 stop loss isn't too big a sacrifice but if you can't lock onto the subject reliably the rest won't really matter.

  6. Pretty amusing how much F1 and the team leaders kept trying to tell us that the racing was great and we are wrong to criticize it. What a complete waste of a season. I worry this doesn't even come close to enough to restoring actual racing. It is just so bad right now. https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/48711882/f1-reveals-latest-tweaks-rules-2027-moves-away-5050-engine-split

  7. Wagner orchestral excerpts were one of my favorites to play when I was in an orchestra. But yeah, he was pretty abominable from all accounts. My handle comes from his last opera, Parsifal. The overture from that was a study in my music theory class. Sounds nice and demur, but was actually atonal as hell.

  8. Ted Turner died. Of the many things he did, my favorite by far is Turner Classic Movies. Also, the way he shook up professional wrestling in the 1990s.
