I have always been fascinated by clocks and the telling of time. That fascination with time that led me to my fascination with both the past (history) and the future (science fiction).

I've owned many clocks over the years, most of them not of high quality. My favorite, is the one given to me to mark my fifth anniversary with my school district. It is a Howard Miller alarm clock, and it sits next to my bed. I love it – it is absolutely beautiful, and keeps excellent time. 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 it a very long time.

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

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