I have missed you
I have been generally unavailable for the last 6 months as, sadly, my marriage has come to an end, and I have become a Mr. Mom most of the time as I have the girls 95% of the time. I have been basically too stunned to socialize, and have slowly been putting my feet back in the circle. So, You guys can warm me up. Thank God for my law practice which has always done well , as that has kept me occupied and focused, and I have my beautiful girls which give me all the right reasons to make good decisions.
Sorry for the news, but maybe watches will become important to me again. I still wear the watch that rockrolex wears...the Black Beauty. I posted a similar post on the other Holbrook forum which seems to be thriving too. arturo |

Sorry to hear the news, Arturo. It's always tough when that happens. Be thankful you have your kids the bulk of the time, though. At least they'll grow up with a loving dad.
Stop by as often as you can and let us help trty to cheer you up a bit. How about some pics of you and the kids for starters. And you warmed the cockles of my heart with your comment about "Black Beauty."

Hey Art, pal....can't remember the last time we spoke over the phone. Extremely sorry it's all come to an end.....she seemed like a nice person from the photographs you posted me. Very sorry it all had to end like this.
How are the girls taking all this? Appreciate your taking time off to tell us all this. Rest assured, you are amongst friends and please feel free to share with us all your problems....well, NOT all....but you know what I mean. Keep in touch, Art. JJ

Sorry about the news Arturo. The good thing is that the girls have a loving father around them most of the time. Keep your chin up and we're here for you.

Thanks guys...when something like this happens you kind of retreat for months and go inward...I am tryng to come out a bit, and chose Easter time to get back in touch with a great group of people. The watches are simply the common interest that binds all these other interests and ideas and people together. Quite remarkable indeed. Thank you. And I will post some pics of the girls, and start back into the search for another watch.
