Good Job Framm, this is indeed the correct answer. Thank you all for playing along. To decode my cipher you change the capital letters to their corresponding number in the alphabet and move that many spaces forward. Using the letters you land on in the order they appear in the text (as opposed to the order of the capital letters) it should spell out 'wristwatch' ... thanks again everybody!!
