al_kaplan1 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Thanks, Missy! Yup, that good looking guy with the bushy head of hardly-any-grey hair turned 62 today, and thanks to Missy's encouragement I've been wandering through my days and nights lately carrying that Bessa L/15mm Skopar combo and taking pix of myself! Pictures alone, pictures with friends. What I really need to do is print up more of them. There are nearly two dozen rolls so far, most just still hanging in the darkroom! And the wonderful Ms. McKolay has kindly offered to scan and post them. Of course she gets to keep the prints;-) I suppose I should be the True Gentlemen, and so I'll say it here in public for all to see: Missy, if your husband throws you out on your ear out of jealousy of all those pix of me that'll be all over your house you can always stay here at my house, and I'll even let you use the darkroom!

al_kaplan1 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Travis, I still need something to keep on my 35 Summicron. M2 bodies make great rear lens caps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melisa Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 I believe a gentleman would keep that information to himself. Be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love4leica Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Yes, many happy returns. Congratulations. If you take her in, you will need not 25mg tablets but 100mg tablets of Viagra to remain active. What the heck, sell your M2s and buy some Viagra and you will have more joy. We all love you. Congratulation !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icuneko Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Al Kaplan "a Klan pal?" I doubt it! Here in the US "Klan" with a capital K doesn't ring many good bells. Right, Al? Happy B-day nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aric_rothman Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Happy birthday Al! Gee, I'm disappointed with all the Viagra gags, no one managed to tie in a Rigid Summicron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_kaplan1 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Thanks, everyone, for all the good wishes. So far it's been a great day indeed. As for the Klan, I doubt I'd be very welcome in those racist "white power" circles. I lived with a black Jamaican woman (she didn't want to remarry) for over ten years, helped raise her 2 sons, and we're still good friends. Her brother is my accountant. But I'm easy to get along with and I used to have some redneck bass fishing buddies before they all moved out of the Miami area. We just didn't discuss girlfriends.
