Ups and Downs

I am continuing to open communications with my family, and my son and his family. Over the weekend, I gave my boy the number to my cell phone - a TracFone. Actually, I text messaged his wife first by mistake. She called, and well, she's a great kid, but has this tendency to talk....alot. That's not cost-effective with a pay-as-you-go cell service. Anyhow, I text messaged my son right afterwards, and he called to confirm that he got it ok. I've also given him a new Email address that I hope will work out better, with much more space and all.

On the down side, my main camera lens (28-80 mm) is still giving me trouble. It wants to keep shutting down the aperture as far as it can. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and replace it. I'm just glad it's not a really expensive one. I should be able to replace it for less than $200. I've got an "extra" check coming in a couple weeks, so maybe I can do it then. We shall see. I guess for now, I'll have to consider my telephoto/zoom (75-300 mm) lens my main lens.
