Okay, this is unacceptable. Nearly an hour and a half without a post!??!
I know it's holiday season and we all have a lot going on, but c'mon.
Focus people, FOCUS!

I'm off prescription medication. Unrelated, I will be vacationing in southern Arizona in April.

It's the Pavlovian response to all those posts on beer, cheese, wine and other goodies. They're all out there garnering cheese gems and hang-overs.

The kind of burger that you really should eat while sitting naked in a bathtub.

Really, really trying to purge the memory of reading this from my mind......

Yeah, last weekend I couldn't resist taking my K-5II (which is why I won't be buying a K-3 any time soon) out in the snow. 'Course, first I had to take me where there was snow. Here in NC, it's in the 70s today.

Yes, sir! Sorry, sir! Uhh, lemme think:

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

A Parmesan in a Pear tree.

(c'mon guys, help me out here)

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two Taleggio doves and a Parmesan in a pear tree.

Gilbert Gottfried on party cheese...

Sounds exciting. Now I just need some large rocks.

I should probably get rid of my refrigerator. I just realized it says Whirlpool on it and not Pentax.

Come on monochrome.. rub it in one more time.. "Someone unexpectedly gave me a K-3", and change your signature, to.. "I have a k-3 but I didn't have to pay for it." Why are you holding back? We all know you're gloating over there.

Loud and clear. We're not BMW-wealthy, which is why it is such a surprise.

Circumstances once sadly forced a friend to move to a small high rise condo. We brought her a spotting scope and tripod as a housewarming gift. You give and you get.

I don't know monochrome, I think I might be having more fun with this than you are.
