You make that old girl sing, Jim. I got as far as breaking down, and
cleaning my OMZ 50/3.5 Macro and mounting it on the E-1, but haven't been
out at all. Judi fell a couple of weeks ago. She was in so much pain we
were terrified that she might have broken her hip. Multiple x-rays and two
scans later, the docs decided on several compression fractures of the lower
spine.
Whew! No surgery, but 2-to-3 months rest while she heals.
That's if my cooking do doesn't do her in.

Too close, and the b'fly flies off. I tried a little Neat Image to clean
up the noise, but I kept the amount very limited.
