You probably didn't see it on my timeline but while I was hanging out at the Convention Center's Northern Spark site prior to working my shifts at Mill City, I happened to check On This Day, and On This Day, as it is wont to do, brought up a long post I wrote a year ago about my friend Andy after learning that he'd died. I shared it, adding "I'm really glad I am volunteering for the arts today, I'm really glad I have a working bike that I'm riding [he was a fanatical cyclist], I miss Andy, and I'm thinking about [his sister] Renee." So while walking between sites, at one of the intersections, I saw a watch in two pieces and picked it up - the pieces went back together easily and I was astonished to discover that (a) it had Pikachu on it and (b) it was still running and keeping perfect time. It might be a kid's watch - it BARELY fit around my other wrist and used one of the very last holes to latch closed, but it DID fit. Now you can either believe it was an astonishing coincidence that a lightly used analog Pokémon watch would appear on my path or that Andy heard me thinking about him and put it there. If you know me, you know I don't really believe in coincidences. I guess I'm going back to "why do you wear two watches?" for a while...although nobody asked me that tonight - and I even forgot I was wearing it until well after the sun came back up and I was walking home from the train station...when I took this photo - 6.29, just like the watch said, just like the timestamp on the photo. G'night everybody. G'night Tequila Willy....you weirdo. |
