Learn Something New Everyday.
We went to dinner tonight at our friends Greg and Janet's house. The Boy did a beautiful job of cooking the burgers.

After dinner, Janet, who is the most amazing calligrapher, showed us her collection of inkwells and antique copybooks. Greg, who is a Swiss trained watch repair expert, put the Boy to work sorting and straightening watch parts.
.
I asked Greg to explain what the Boy is doing and he said, "He is using a truing caliber to straighten wheels that came from a 1940's wristwatch. Often wheels become bent or damaged which necessitates the patience of a watch repair person with steady hands to once again make sure the wheels run straight and true, hence the need to bend and adjust them so that the wheels will be in good condition."

That's a hundred-year-old pair of calipers that the kid is using. How wonderful is that?
