Live from Hadley Rille. Thanks, Hilary!

I have that same Casio. I love it to a degree that goes beyond reason.

Just remember to do like my mom always said and shield your nards while you’re waiting for your Mac & cheese to heat up.

Can’t go wrong there! Enjoy.

Congratulations. I hope the day, and the years that follow, are a perfect as that watch is.

45. Couldn’t find the 43 at a price that made sense.

commented on Should Everyone have a Quartz in their Life? ·

When I first got into watches, I thought only manually wound mechanicals with display casebacks would give me that special feeling. Then I found room in my heart for rotors (not literally, unless my cardiologist has something new up his sleeve). From there, I came to accept quartz watches if I liked the dials enough, and even found genuine love for the movements themselves when I picked up a Grand Seiko 9F and a Bulova Precisionist. Had I remained dogmatic, I’d have missed out on a lot of good stuff. Another win for William Kennedy’s advice to “Avoid gratuitous absolutes.”
