Just a quick moment I wanted to share between the chores/writing/wrangling of my small children at the park, but it turns out that one of my route customers is a watchmaker. I asked him a few weeks ago to look at my engagement pocket-watch, which hasn’t worked in a few years.
First: it’s fixed!
Second: it was free!
The watchmaker refused to take payments from me, as he believed “your acts of service to the country is payment enough.”
I gotta admit, that was a great compliment, and I’m stupidly happy to see my old pocket-watch running again.
I’m off to go convince my 6-year-old daughter that it is, in fact, a bad idea to jump off a rockwall when there are other kids in her landing area.
Stay safe out there, readers.
