Glad to see 2012 go . . .

Back in March, my urologist insisted on a totally unnecessary prostate biopsy which resulted in an e. coli infection requiring two hospitalizations and weeks of home infusions. Then in June, I suffered a Type VI tibial plateau fracture of my right leg - again, two hospitalizations followed by extensive rehab. Then this month, my wife spent 18 days in the hospital near death without a definite diagnosis.

And for the first time in ten years, no Omegas (new or pre-owned) added to the collection.

So 2012 was not a good year.

But I'm walking again, my wife is home and improving each day, and this Thursday the new Omega arrives.

Indications are that 2013 will be better at our house.

I pray it will be better at yours also.

Sorry to hear that 2012 was so tough for you. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts as 2013 starts. I am sure it will bring many more good times and hopefully watches.
2012 was tough for a lot of people and I send out my best wishes to all of them.
Good luck my friend and my best for the year to come.

Here's to a healthy 2013. And maybe a new or vintage speedmaster to the collection.
