04/17/2026 - Hello from sunny Key Largo, Florida! It’s been a while, I know, I’m not one for making excuses for not writing, I’m as disappointed in myself as anyone else is, so I’ll leave it at this — I owe you guys a couple of posts that I missed from February and March. Count this as my first “make-up” post.

I’m down in one of my favorite places to get away and get off the radar — the Florida Keys. I’m down here for a belated spring break of sorts, doing some scuba diving, soaking up sun, and moonlighting as Conch Republic riff-raff.

I’m in a weird spot with watches. A bit of a funk, if you will. It’s not that I’m having a falling out with watches or collecting, but if I’m being honest, I’m feeling a bit bored with my collection. It’s hard to unpack — I still like every watch in my collection — heck, that’s why I bought them. At the end of the day, it boils down to the fact that I’m interested in exploring experiences with new watches. Thus, I’ve embarked on what many in the watch collecting hobby loosely refer to as “collection consolidation.”

01/28/2026 - We are but a few short weeks into 2026 and the year has already taken a dark turn. For those of you new here, I’m a local to Minneapolis; a city that is going through some rough times at the moment. I generally hate politics. I don’t usually engage beyond being an informed voter and going out to vote. To gloss over what is going on and just write this article as if everything is fine would be entirely tone deaf and an immense injustice to what is happening in my city and to my community.
