Dear Joe,

The pictures you took of us are the only ones Shula has let ANYONE take that included her, in years. I don't know how you finessed it, but you caught her in a rare weak moment. We aren't likely to catch her off guard again. Especially since she is mortified over the giant solo shot. She had thought you'd be posting one of the group pics.

I recently returned from a trip to see two of our sons who live in Israel. Despite an intensive search, I haven't been able to find some of the film I used. Including most of the pictures I took of our son, Chas (Yechezkel). Israel is a LONG way off. November is even longer. Anything can, and usually does, happen. I LIVE (and I use the word conditionally) with this marvelous, but dangerous woman. Do us all a big favor, Joe, and just tell me what kind of film you use.
