Got a new car today and asked The Book friends for names. I got a TON of 'congratulations' and that just made me feel wrong in ways I cannot explain. I did nothing to earn congratulations—just decided $400/mo payment was worth my peace of mind (other car was 9 y/o). Society is weird. That is all.

As I sometimes am prone to do while the dew still glistens on the grass, I was pondering things. I realized that I always wanted a calculator watch and my mom never bought me one. I'm 47, so it shouldn't bother me—but it made me sad for a moment. What's your 'always-wanted-but-never-got' item? LMK!
