[HUG ] Re: Wait for the Wagon

Dear Good Uncle,
It is indeed good to hear from you again, and I am delighted to hear you are 
back in fine health and mind. I have missed your unique wit and am delighted 
you have once again chosen to wait for the wagon with the rest of us.
Best to you and yours from the other side,
Bob

Dear
Friends,
 
                 I
sometimes wonder about me. No, not the bit about what I look like in the mirror
– I am used to that. I mean about what I was thinking when I….
1.        Retired from my honourable
profession and took up selling cameras in a shop.
2.       Laid aside my 35mm , 6 x 6 and 4 x
5 cameras and bought a DSLR.
3.       Painted myself with massage oil
and ran through the dressing room at the burlesque club.
 
I can only conclude that I took
leave of my senses, or they took leave of me. Of course I realise that the only
constant in time is variation – all things change and generally for
either the better or the worse. Or in the case of our federal government, for
both at the same time….( Next election I am voting for the party that
legalises massage oil….)
 
The change of pace and lifestyle
occasioned by the first decision is interesting. I seem to have a great deal
more fun in life and a great deal less worry. This is bound to come to the
attention of the authorities and lead to repression, but I am determined to
enjoy it whilst I may. The third thing, well, don’t let them kid you that
policemen fed on doughnuts cannot run.
 
As for retiring all the good old
film cameras, I have cagily retired them to the household safe and will be
regularly exercising and checking them against the advent of an affordable 6 x
6 back and a revival of interest in optically correct landscape photography. Buy
good, keep good.
 
 Uncle Dick
