“The inspiration came from a real encounter Robert Lamm (keyboardist of Chicago) had as a teenager in Brooklyn. When he asked a movie theater usher for the time, the usher cryptically replied, “Does anybody really know what time it is?” This quirky response evolved into a multi-layered existential exploration.”

Meet Michael Gainey. Master Clock Repair Columbus Ohio.
I haven’t photographed many People at Work during the Pandemic. It was nice to be welcomed and shown Mr. Gainey’s workbench and tools he uses to fix all kinds of clocks. More than 44,000 clocks have been repaired!!! Do you have a family clock that’s been passed down through generations?
He told me his story, how he got into the business. His son works alongside him, repairing clocks, too. I had made an appointment to stop on our way home to Pittsburgh after Anna’s HS graduation weekend.
Laura had a musical cuckoo clock, resting in a box, that needed to be fixed. We’d bought it in the German Black Forest about 35 years ago. I know it’s in good hands.

Wednesday my sister and were walking to Grand Central Terminal Market to purchase LiLac chocolate as a hostess gift. We were headed to dinner at our cousin’s. Here’s the Daily News Building built in 1929 in the Art Deco style. Here’s the giant rotating globe in the lobby. Two photos of Christopher Reeve from filming the Superman movies are shown below.

The brand of shirt was Health-Tex and I’d say it held up quite well. Who knows why I saved it.
