Susan bought me my watch today. We walked into
Tourneau
(57th Ave, NYC) to check out some watches and we spent most of our time
looking at Seiko, Rado, and Tag pieces. I had been like a week ago and knew
that they didn’t have my watch there, so we didn’t rush up to where the
Rolex pieces were. Eventually we made our way up there, though, and sure
enough — they had one.
It was quite amazing that a place with this sort of visibility would just
happen to have my exact watch in stock when they didn’t just a few days
earlier (and precisely on the day that Susan came with me no less).
Naturally I was freaking out (but in a very controlled fashion that only
Susan could see) and she simply asked me, “Do you want it?” I simply
replied, “Yeah, I do.”, and around 20 minutes later I walked out with it.
It’s been close to 15 years that I’ve wanted this watch and now it’s mine.
So this has been quite a trip: Susan got her ring on Thanksgiving, and I got
my Rolex on Christmas Eve. The project went really well, and I go home to a
new apartment and a new car. It’s a good feeling that I have right now.

dead-tree format when I put this site up in 1999]
