The Waiting Game - 90 Day Essay Continues

Why do we call it the waiting room?


This was me, wearing two face masks, sitting in the waiting room for a doctor's appointment. To my favorite "hater" out there, sorry to tell you - I got a clean bill of health ; )

I was not really "waiting".  I had brought a good book to reread -

If you have a chance, I highly recommend giving Mr. Epstein's Range a read. It actually points out something that most of the watch brands (and frankly, watch media) could benefit from -
Generalists tend to triumph over specialists. With about a ZILLION outlets claiming that they focus on exclusive, haute, etc., it makes attracting and keeping those all important advertisers and (let's be honest) well-heeled patrons more and more difficult.  

But back to the waiting room. Ask yourself a question - how many times have you longed for extra time to read a book, write a letter, chat with a friend or family member, or write your game changing business manifesto?  Curious to relate? You can do all of those things while "waiting" for your next appointment!

So rather than grinding your teeth and burning the valuable lining of your stomach with excess acid, embrace the gift of extra time that you've been given!

A Ninety Day Essay

So to be clear, this will not be a review, at least not in the traditional way that you might expect.


It is safe to say that we are all looking at time a little differently these past six months.  For many there has been a desire to speed it up, so that we might be back to "normal" that much sooner. But as I was deciding which watch to wear today, I was struck by some of the positives - more time with family, getting to know our neighbors, actually reading a book. And it occurred to me that rather than waste my time waiting for things to change, I'd rather live in the now and enjoy the time I am actually living in. 
And to that end, I will be spending the next 90 days with my MeisterSinger Vintago. 

Stay tuned.
