Have you ever run a marathonwith a camera, and pulled over to take photos, and then done a scrapbook on it. Might be a good time for one given the injury. I did it once and I can tell you, you don't feel any time pressure.

Excellent idea, John - I might indeed do that as it would certainly be fun in NY.
