Robert and I drove down to Jacksonville, Florida recently to pick up our new Series 10 Apple Watches. We were long overdue for upgrades. I had the old Series 4 watch, while Robert had the 6.

I’m still not sure I’m smart enough to understand “smart” watches. I remember a watch being this little device you put on your wrist to tell you the time of day. But, oh no, how yesteryear foolish that belief is! The current time is at the very bottom of the hierarchy of smart watch “capabilities.”

Wait. I can ovulate? I didn’t know that!

After we got our little computers attached to our wrists, HR and I headed over to The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens near Jacksonville’s Five Points neighborhood to sit a while in the sunshine by the St. John’s River and look cool and … timely.

Frustrated that no one was commenting on my coolness, I started walking around the gardens.
When, lo and behold, I suddenly came face to face with … Mercury!

Do you remember Mercury from your little bit of mythology in school? If not, here’s a brief review.
“Mercury was the Roman god of commerce, messengers, eloquence, travelers, and trickery. In the Roman polytheistic religion of many deities, Mercury was one of the most important. He even earned a rank amongst the Dii Consentes, the 12 most important gods and goddesses in Rome.” Study.com
I was pretty impressed with his resume, BUTT …

…he made no comment about my Apple Watch coolness, so I wasted no time and moved on.
