5:15 Rested awhile and realized that I must create iamge + env't that is very high-touch, not hi-tech, to counterbalance my work life. Thus I should have old tudor apt with area rugs and paintings not of geometrics like Vaserelie. All that is fine.

And I should have a watch, but it should be hi-touch: not digital, not black/anodized, but it should be warm gold and leather strap. There's no sense in getting solid gold, but it should be gold that wears well. The Seiko LaSalle and Omega are the primary choices then. So go back to Ben Bridge tomorrow and buy one of that type. All others are too cheap or too expensive.

Talked with Mark Sykes and I don't feel so tired now so I'll have a real hi-touch time with him. Opera + muscles.

Dinner at Pagliaccis. (Mark pronounces the "g"). La Traviata and good sex.
