Smooth Moves

Phil | March 30, 2006

This one goes out to Lynn, whom I promised almost two weeks ago that I would do a blog about one of my, shall we say, less than graceful moments. The idea was triggered thanks to her “Ouch” blog. So Lynn, this one’s for you.
When I was in elementary school, I was a big time [...]

Today’s Topic: A Discussion

Phil | March 29, 2006

So the topic of today is the most cruel things that can happen to you in the morning.
I’m talking about rude awakenings, short of all the usual ones you hear about (about so-and-so having disappeared, or stolen everything you own). Those are more along the lines of devastating. What I want to hear about is [...]

Feel the Love

Phil | March 26, 2006

In the modern world, we have become more and more connected to people, having ways to reach one another with increasing ease. With all the email, “snail” mail, friend sites, internet, cell phones, and just about everything else (short of telepathy), you’d think we’d all be communication gurus.
But, as it turns out, we’re not. We [...]

Friends’ Choice Part II

Phil | March 24, 2006

As you may or may not have noticed, I haven’t blogged in two days. Let’s just say it’s been one of those weeks, basically busy to the point that my procrastination caught up with me, and I ran out of time to get some good blogging done. And so today, because I owe it to [...]

Philosophy Thoughts

Phil | March 22, 2006

Have you ever noticed that life seems to be full of little “wise” sayings, which seem to be quoted all the time? The best part about them is that they can apply to almost anything, anytime you want them to. And, if you’re ever at a loss for throwing in your very own ideas or [...]

Blogging Thoughts

Phil | March 21, 2006

Today’s question comes from Lila, the lovely blogress out of Gran Canaria. She writes:
Yo Phil,
What do you think of the ‘new blogger power’ the nouveau blogger rules, blogger types, followers and leaders?
*Activist in disguise*Lila
Lila,
I find your query intriguing. The “new blogger power,” as you put it, is actually quite the opposite. In fact, new bloggers [...]

The Ticket Lady

Phil | March 20, 2006

Over the weekend, I went to visit Albuquerque’s brand new Balloon Museum. Each year, Albuquerque hosts the world’s largest balloon event, which we lovingly call the Balloon Fiesta. Eight solid days of fun, bringing in balloonists from all over the world, and thousands of tourists. Yes, we are hot-air balloon fanatics. And now we even [...]

Tour de Phil

Phil | March 18, 2006

Today is Saturday, and all day I have been consumed by this feeling of intense laziness. Maybe it was because I slept in until 11:45, or because it was cloudy, or because it was fuccant windy. But whatever the reason, it’s been a lazy day.
I wasn’t planning on posting anything today, but when I came [...]
