    Don't be sorry! It's a great pic, as are all of yours. Most of my pics are recycled too, these days, due to work and summer and a general apathy for taking fresh ones at the moment.

    Of all the watches I owned that Miles truly admired this is the one that gets the least wrist time from me and thus seems the most appropriate choice to honour his memory.

    In so many ways, the internet is both a blessing and a curse. It gives us the opportunity to "meet" and build relationships with people we otherwise might never have the ability to befriend. But it also can mean sadness when someone like that passes away. I think the balance is definitely on the positive side, though.

    It is. I have many friends I would never otherwise know. I have even met some of them.

    Sorry to hear that, Henry.

    I've never met - in person - anyone from the net. However, some of our virtual friends can become as real as our real friends.

    Truth. I can't think of a single person here who I wouldn't consider a friend in real life, if we happened to meet or live in the same area.

    I've only met one so far (Walter), but it would be great to meet some more someday.
