There are hardly any at this point. I mean, there are things we think we’ll do, but honestly, we’re still sort of worn out from the spring. Michael’s in Indianapolis the rest of this week at some stewardship thing, and we’re talking about time at a north Florida beach some time in July. David will…

Best digital camera under $200 (or we have to, $250)…? Any suggestions? If you can, post a link to a photo you’ve taken with your recommendation.
