I love clocks. In fact, I have always been fascinated by clocks and the telling of time. Perhaps that is related to my love of both the past (history) and the future (science fiction), which are areas that are so closely bound up with time..

Like most people, I've owned many clocks over the years. And to be honest, most of them have not been of high quality. My favorite, however, is the one given to me to mark my fifth anniversary with my school district. It is a Howard Miller alarm clock, and wakes me every morning for school. I absolutely love it because of its beauty and reliability. I'm still impressed by the quality, surprised that the district treated us all so well that year. And in return, I treat my clock well. I plan on keeping for as long as it keeps running, which I expect to be a very long time.

Now I knew nothing about Howard Miller clocks when I opened the presentation box at dinner that night, but my wife was quite impressed. I've since learned that Howard Miller clocks are considered to be among the best in the world -- especially the Howard Miller grandfather clocks.

My wife and I are talking about redecorating, we are trying to make sure that we have a clock in the living room that will aid in setting the tone for the space and keep with the Old West/ranch house theme. Personally, I'm rather fond of this wall clock.
