I've stopped wearing a watch.
I'm not sure why. It started because the band was bugging me but it seems to have evolved into something more.
It has something to do with a general less-is-more mentality that's becoming increasingly attractive to me. A sense that the things I own, are starting to own me.
Of course, that hasn't really stopped me from buying more things. (Like the new pair of hiking boots I got over the weekend.)
And, besides, I still own a watch. (Several of them, to be perfectly honest.) And I'm still subject to the dictates of a world run by the clock. I have a clock radio that wakes me up, and a clock in my car, and one on my computer, and on my cell phone.......
So it's not like I've gone "off the clock."
At least not yet.
