Can you believe it still runs & keeps time? I grabbed it a year ago on the bay, but sad to say I just noted it was different last week. That “Gruen Pritler” (?) dial engraving has me scratching my head. But now all I need is that 18k case I’m dreaming of 😢

Man, the Sesame Street Huey Lewis reference takes me back! I just introduced the kids to Square One TV. I think that show was the reason I never had to study for Math class until I hit Calculus. Steep learning curve on study habits then, tho! Mid term grade was a 7. My classmates called me Touchdown till the end of the term.

Guess I’ll quote Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford: “It was my understanding there would be no math...”


My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more
