Must be horrible to loose two of your friends in such a meaningless way. My
deepest sympathies.

Subject: [OM] REAL photographers can apologize
If I stirred things up too much yesterday, insulted anyone, offended
some,
or even pissed off half the list, I beg the pardon of any so affected.
Two
of the people killed Friday morning in the courthouse shooting in
Atlanta,
while not close friends, were long-time acquaintances of mine: Judge
Rowland Barnes and court reporter Julie Brandau. I've had lunch on a
number of occasions with them. Judge Barnes was, like me, a lover of
good
Mexican fare.
After 36 hours of wall-to-wall TV coverage, once the perp was caught
and I
took off my holster and Glock and unlocked the front door, fatigue,
anger
and frustration, plus a beer, or several, resulted in my looking for a
diversion other than TV coverage of college basketball tournaments and
a
way to let off some steam. You guys were available.
I would say it won't ever happen again, but I'm too prone to go off
half
cocked occasionally to make such a rash promise. :-)
Film's still better, though.
