You're not strange, Steve. You're normal.

Well, normal compared to some here.

My kids ask me why I'm always looking at pictures of my watch online. I do look on pics of other models as well, I might add... But what do they know...

Ah, gotcha. I never really attached any value to my name, so I guess it slipped my mind to volunteer it. I even answered to Mark for a few years at a job as it was just easer to deal with :)

It's good to be strange. Strange is not bland

Nothing wrong with that - although I have to admit that I have started taking pictures of my watches when my children and wife are not around.

Macro setting on the camera, a lot of Louisiana sunshine and some old teak deck furniture works some magic.
