  1. You can relate the amount of bluriness to the amount of David’s content of margarita :), it was a definite pleasure and a must do again event. Girl you have been busy and have done a great job on reporting.My tip of the hat to you.

    Beneath the Sea is coming up this spring, let’s do that again.

  2. That’s Not bluriness! That’s “swirlies” !

    Please not center and other points of faces are IN focus! As stated, a “special” technique honed over muchos anos :) Plus cerveza.....
