Out Of Touch?

I'm starting to realize that I have lived in"kid world" long enough now that I don't really get all the single guy stuff anymore. There are plenty of movies that I don't see and tons of gadgets I can't afford. I would trade my life now for any of that but it just goes to show that you can't be everybody at once. I saw the term Chopard watch, and despite my love for clocks of all kinds, had no idea what it was. Is that a brand or a type. In either case I haven't heard of it. All young people think that they will never be the out of touch parents, but it seems inevitable. I will still try hard but I'm guessing my kids will still "know more than me" when they are teenagers.

Down The Drain

I had no idea how expensive sinks can be. We looked at a few when we remodeled our old house and they can get pretty expensive. Some of them looked really great. Kohler sinks, and especially the really deep ones with black tones, instead of stainless. I liked those a lot. Our new house has nice deep stainless ones but if we ever remodel, I would love one of the deep black ones. I think that that is down our list a ways as far as upgrades but it's still fun to think about stuff like that.

Clocks

I've always kind of had a clock "thing". I'm not sure exactly what it is or why but I'm fascinated by cool looking clocks and always stop the check them out. By extension I like watches as well but I don't normally wear them just because it really isn't necessary and gets in my way at times. Still the watch aisle usually garners some of my attention when I pass by it. Technomarine watches, Swiss army watches, kinetic watches, and many others that I think might be cool. Clocks are cool, I'm just not sure why.

What To Do

I'm pretty fed up with my Browns. I have been pretty patient with them for the last 20 years, even waiting for several years for them to rejoin the league at one point. The problem is that they stink and there is absolutely no hope, in my mind, of them ever being more than a hapless heap of rodent feces.

So do I continue to be a "loyal fan" and root root root, or do I disavow them and move on to greener pastures? Or I could just become a fan of football itself and root for no one in particular. Then if they repent of their pathetic ways, I could consider taking them back.

I'm not sure at this point but I do know that I am not excited about the new coach and I am not excited about the draft and I do not think that they will be any good next season. Not a lot to hang my football helmet on at all when it comes to them.
