–Went to Carmel. Put $500 deposit on 2019 Speedmaster 50th Anniversary moon watch at Hesselbein Jewelry (they hadn’t heard anything about it); bought a $1,000 Laconico not-yet-named knife with cool blade from Carmel Cutlery. [edit 11/27: looks a lot like the MinPin that just launched for $225 at Monterey Bay Knives, a Sanford Owen/Ray Laconico collaboration. Made in China, pretty much indistinguishable from the real thing.]

–Lunch at R.G. (real good) Burgers in Crossroads; not bad.

–Put new battery in Grace’s Seiko.
