and congratulations also for celebrating that achievement with such an awesome Patek!!
You know, everything in life has context and when I got my second Master's degree it felt like failure. I had been enrolled in a doctorate program but I knew academia was not for me. So I "downgraded" to a Master's program, picked it up, and got the hell out of school. My father was very disappointed in me at the time. However, I joined a technology company and within a year I wrote him a check for everything he'd ever invested in my education and then some. I think he was a little less disappointed then
It's funny, I haven't thought about this for twenty years, but I had two master's degrees from two of the most prestigious Universities in the world and it's not something I ever really celebrated. I think sometimes in life we can be very hard on ourselves and this was a good example of that for me. So congrats again and I'm with FabR - I think you should never say never and one day get a second Patek
Best,
NickO
