For me, Covid 19, has given me my first opportunity in five years, of having some time off self employed work. Opportunity for a bit of leisure time. Until I temporarily closed my business, (due to Covid 19 lock down) my normal work routine was 7 days per week, with maximum of 14 true days off per ...

This is how I’ve been spending my time...




I’ve created an Instagram account for my students to follow where I’m posting lighthearted, art & history themed stuff: @hstrygk

While I’ve taken advantage of 0% financing offers, I’ve never bought something because of the offer. When I’ve purchased something with 0% financing, I was already going to make the purchase with cash in hand anyway. If however somebody will give me the use of their money for free, I’ll happily take...

Doesn't sit right to me. When I heard about it earlier, my initial response was it's a sponsored post (it's not) and a cheap way to get some PR when not much is happening in the world of watches. I didn't post as I wanted to see if it was just me who had reservations. Really can't see anyone in the...

Those are both wonderful photos! I think they both show of the new black Dartmouth better than the photos on the CW website! Beautiful watches, gentlemen!

Virtual school is a challenge so far. Hard to be motivated to do anything worthwhile when I'm getting zero interaction from my students with what I've done so far. I'm fighting hard to overcome a emerging "why bother" attitude that's creeping in. Interesting to hear another view on this, Andrew. We...

the governors of both Maryland and Virginia issued stay at home orders today. So I won't be seeing my wife for the foreseeable future. Virtual school is a challenge so far.

....not that I’m not intrigued by this offering, mind you.

Isn’t 2020 supposed to be the year of the chronograph or something? Where are the chronographs?

I just came across this fantastic video offering a history of the development of the military watch. It's from last October, so my apologies if it's been shared already.

With school now cancelled for the remainder of the year, one of my personal goals is to develop a daily routine. Otherwise I'll ballon up to 300 lbs and get NOTHING done around my house. If we are expected to start doing distance learning with our students (I still have no idea how that's going to s...

Covidiots...

Brilliant! I'm using that moving forward. My area is overrun with them!

Something to lighten the mood a bit... Heard a Dr. on TV saying in this time of Coronavirus staying at home we should focus on inner peace. To achieve this we should always finish things we start and we all could use more calm in our lives. I looked through my house to find things i'd started and ha...

This has been a helluva day. Decided to end it with a little trip to Frankfurt, Kentucky.

School has now officially been cancelled for the rest of the academic year, and I feel sick to my stomach (as both a teacher and a parent) about all the unknowns that come with this. Better safe than sorry of course, but still... This is certainly not how I'd like to see the year end. Very sad day i...
