Elegant Illusionist

I decided to buy a so-called smart watch. I would probably never have done so, but the wife got a fitness watch for her birthday and it just got me thinking about it. I don't think I've worn a watch for more than 20 years, but what the heck. It's an extravagance to be sure, but it did come in handy last night. I went for a walk in the neighborhood and had downloaded some music to the watch and then paired the watch with some bluetooth wireless earbuds. So, not only did I not have wired earbuds but I didn't have to bring my phone or iPod Touch. The iPod Touch has been my go-to for the gym for quite some time as it's light, super long battery life and was just sitting around after my son moved on to more expensive toys. It still works great, but I also like the idea of the watch playing music, tracking my walk and keeping up with text messages, etc.
