Already blocking off the calendar for that weekend, and may even be bringing some more new faces!

Looks like that's the closest place for me on the list. Guess I'll have to come back!

A former co-worker was good friends with the owner of Toscanini's in Cambridge. We sometimes got to be testers for possible new flavors. Any time we were over that way for something for work, we made a pit stop, too. Awesome ice cream.

I didn’t think we would ever go so public about such a private thing until it turned into an emergency last Friday that meant we were not going to be here last Friday for the start of the event.

Dolly and I spent the morning today at the Cleveland Clinic’s Women’ Heath Department for what she described as very intensive and painful mammography. There was an evaluating doctor on site. He sent her home with instructions that there was no need for further exploration. That direction was very good news and a wonderful twentieth wedding anniversary present.

Thank you all for your well wishes and concerns.

That's an answered prayer right there. We're very glad to hear this - hope you plan to celebrate well!

Awesome news! Definitely celebrate well!

Great news John. What a relief. Happy 20th!

If anyone is interested in playing with DBI, here are some cheap options on green #3 safelights. The Kodak model B lights with the green #3 dome are abundant on ebay for $10-$20. These take a 7W bulb. You'll just have to rig up a footswitch setup.

Thanks Peter. I have a Kodak Brownie Safelight Kit with the green dome. For others that are interested, I plan to test green LED light as well when I get the time. The #3 green safelight filter passes under 0.02% of light in a narrow passband centered on 520nm. The green LEDs I have are centered on 525nm, and I plan to dim them to match the output of Peter's setup and/or the Brownie Model B green dome. (I'll pre-emptorally state that I'm not up for discussing on APUG whether or not the LEDs will work for DBI. PM me if you want to be in touch about it.) I'll let folks know how it works when/if I get the chance to test or at our next gathering.

IIRC, Doug, a new visitor to John and Dolly's this last weekend says he's used this foot switch, which isn't really tough enough for constant industrial use, but works fine for most of our darkroom purposes. http://www.harborfreight.com/momenta...tch-96619.html
