So, JP ...

Tell us about your vacation.

Well actually I'm still on it. I'm just on the NYC half of the journey. My pals from the UK are visiting with me this coming week. I'll post the link to the pics I've taken as soon as I get time to resize them. I shoot fullsize (3200 wide) so they need resizing before uploading to the web.

But it's been great so far and I really needed it.

Geez, I keep shooing this guy back onto vacation -- what do I have to do to get you to enjoy yourself out in the fresh air?

I'm heading out soon Gus. It's hard to stay away entirely for 2 weeks. I think I have a forum addiction, or workaholic syndrome or something. I'll google 12-step programs later when I get back :D

lol Fresh air?!?! In NYC?! lol

That's what I keep telling him, Sarge. But actually I'm on Long Island now. There's something approximating fresh air out here. I'm off now to go out for lunch.

Ok Sarge (and everyone) I put up just the 1st group of shots from vacation. I only have about 480 more to go through. ;)

Very nice, JP. I enjoyed that.

Was that you with the young lady at the foot of the staircase?

No, I'm not in any of em. That's my friend Graham, he's like the son I never wanted. And that's his daughter. This is me

I've added a bunch more. I still have about 200 more to go through.
