Thoughts for the week...
Nothing really new. I'm still researching netbooks though I am now sure that a netbook is the best solution for what I've been looking for. I've been a bit sick this week but I think it's probably just allergies.
I'm wondering if we're going to see an upsurge in demand for Senet sets after this week's episode of Lost featured that game so prominently.
Since I brought it up this week and jigsawdiva wanted to know. I'm named after my grandfather. He was called Phil his whole life and he hated it. Possibly for reasons that make more sense if you're a francophone. My mother was never clear on the reason he gave. It apparently involved somewhat colorful language. When he was told of the intent to name me after him he requested emphatically that I never be called Phil. He passed away not long after I was born.
