Today’s query comes from Kat, the lovely blogress now residing quite happily in the grand state of Virginia. She writes:

Beating Myself Up

Phil | April 25, 2006

I’m not going to pretend that this is somehow a new revelation about myself, but it doesn’t make the following statement any less true:

Indeed, I proved this decisively to myself yesterday morning. I was at school and went to my swimming class in the gym. Yesterday, my teacher planned on [...]

100th Entry – A Sellout

Phil | April 24, 2006

The time has come. This is now the official 100th blog entry a la me. For a while, I knew I was getting close, but it snuck up on me pretty fast. Those of you who know me well know by now that I like to change things up and try new things, and no [...]

The Sun and Me

Phil | April 12, 2006

It’s spring. In my recent blog dedicated to spring, I mentioned a variety of things that this season has to offer, both positive and negative. One of those positive things really hit town here yesterday: beautiful weather. It turned out to be a mostly cloudless day with plenty of shine, and just the right amount [...]

Sunglasses Woes

Phil | April 11, 2006

It is time now to pay homage to what have been one of the greatest pairs of sunglasses I have ever owned. Yes indeed, my favorite pair of sunglasses has finally met its demise.
