I have spent approximately eight seasons of available Frontline episodes converting this into an excel spreadsheet for market research purposes. Having seen the price on that page I'm a little taken aback; I bought it for $7. Nonetheless, being able to methodically go through everything (and I have more than a dozen other years on deck) has created insight. It has also led to the purchase of two other books, one of which is incredibly promising and the other of which remains to be seen. I am down to "Harry Winston" "Xemex" and "Zenith", approximately fifteen pages of ingest left of 377.

My wife's receptionist knows a gemcutter in Thailand. Now I know a gemcutter in Thailand. I've commissioned a pentagonal faceting job on an Oregon Sunstone. It's going to go in a pendant that will hang on a Viking knit cord, most likely of 28ga sterling wire. I've also probably made 7 feet of viking knit. I'm not exactly good at it, but I'm getting better.

I've got a 10-year anniversary coming up.

According to Quicken I spent approximately $21k last year in pursuit of horological goals. I have 51 college credits towards this. I guess it's real.
