* Where I am in life... work is incredibly challenging, incredibly dangerous, and the b@stages keep trying to promote me out of the job I love to do. I have a good woman at my side, everything else is secondary.
* Status of the collection... too dang many watches. I'm up to 18 and I'd be happy with 6, just the vintage gens.
* Milestones... my daughter finally met a man I approve of and they were married. I walked her down the aisle, and whispered in his ear "tag, you're it".
My boy is a firefighter in Kotzebue, above the arctic circle. I couldn't be prouder of him.
