After 40 years of togetherness, my longtime photographic partner and I are getting a divorce.

I’m dumping the Nikons that have served me so well since 1964 and taking a trophy wife — a new set of Canon digital gear.

Wasn’t easy walking out on my old love but she has failed me of late — failing to deliver high-enough quality images when compared to the latest-generation digital SLRs and high-quality auto-focus and image-stablized lenses from a seductress named Canon.

The Washington Redskins won a game, stomping the New York Giants 31-7 before a home crowd at FedEx field.

For the first time this season, the Skins looked like a Joe Gibbs team, dominating the game on offense and holding the lackluster Giants on defense (New York’s only score came on a kick runback).

Maybe, for long suffering Redskins fans, things are finally improving and the Gibbs magic is back.

We’ve got our fingers crossed.
