Wanna Buy a Watch, from Alan Millhone
January 30, 2012 |
While in Korea many years ago the "slicky boys" were on the streets with wrist watches running from their wrist to their upper forearms.
I cannot believe all the watches hawkers are selling on TV.
I have several nice pocket and wrist watches —- and wear none of them.
My favorite is my father's 1940 curved face Bulova.
Do you have a favorite watch?
Robert Redford wears a leather strap Timex.
Regards,
Alan

The real estate on your wrist could be occupied by something more useful, such as a biofeedback device, which is linked to your phone, where you will find your personal e-coaching algorithm.
This e-coach will sense your emotions, notice a conflict with your desired verse actual state and take action to help you actualized your desired self. If you are beginning to get stressed, your e-coach will chirp a suitable quote, play soothing music, flash some family pictures, or any one of a number of proven techniques to help train you.
The key to training your pet is marking the wanted (unwanted), behavior the second after (before) the action: one second off and the opportunity to train is lost. The same goes for yourself.
