[LargeFormat] Anybody home?

[Brock Nanson]

Uncle Dick,

Knowing you as we all do, the next obvious question would be whether the
mirror we know must hang on the ceiling of your bedroom is 'surface mirror'
or regular mirror...?  Is it permanently mounted or could you remove it for
this shoot?

Sorry, but you all were thinking it - it just needed someone like me to say
it ;-)

Brock
