Don,

I don't think we've gotten too old-- that can't possibly be (can  
it??)-- but I do think that our priorities change.  I'm not nearly as  
compelled to get out there and photograph and print every single day,  
like in the olden days.  ;)   It's less about old age, though, than  
about other interests that we might find equally compelling.  And even  
though we might not be printing or photographing or posting everyday,  
we're probably still thinking about photography-- and whatever we're  
doing when we're not actively photographing or printing, will  
ultimately impact what and how we choose to photograph, print, or post  
in future.  At least, that's what I think.

I've not noticed the price of eggplant so much as the ever-rising cost  
of peppers.  What is up with that?
