Dear God

I saw this on a friend's page... the innocence and naivete of children can be pretty amusing sometimes. I'm totally with Ginny below; we definitely need some days off between Christmas and Easter. God?


Also taken from a friend's page; Peter seems to be trying his hand at math using the wrong side of his brain. I say give him partial credit for creativity.


Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas with friends and family. With a new year around the corner, there are many resolutions being made. I've always wondered why one should wait 365 days to make a resolution to improve your life or the lives of those around you. Every new day should bring with it an opportunity to change something large or small in your life, no?

Always a challenge, always a journey...

Favorite timepieces

A watch serves multiple purposes, and telling time is merely just one of them. A meticulously crafted, high-precision watch on your wrist can be akin to the feel of a well-tailored three piece-suit on your back. My appreciation of fine watches extends far beyond the purely aesthetic features, to craftsmanship and complications in movements. Below, I've listed my favorite timepieces, some of which I've purchased in the past or currently own.

"TAG Heuer Automatic Chronograph Tachymetre"
Sporty, race-inspired automatic, mechanical movement.

"Tourneau Safari Sport 1950 Flyer"
