Why I Love Phil

So, I'm checking out Phil's blog, which I do on a daily basis, and I am supplied by my friend with yet another link to an article or essay that I am compelled to read. This is one reason why I love Phil's blog; it gives me interesting, thought-provoking pieces to go and check out instead of working on whatever school work is in front of me. Anyway, I read the critique he put a link up for today about anti-consumerism (if you're interested, check it out here), then I put a comment on his blog. Next thing I know, he has replied to my comment. I get the great idea that I should call him since we're both putzing around on the computer at the same time and have just traded comments. A move from the internet world to the cellular world; one step close to real communication?

We get a chance to chat for a bit, and I make a remark about how I go to his blog as a procrastination tool and really appreciate him for it. Now, after our phone call, I've hiked across campus to waste some time while my wife, Jillian, finishes up an exam. I log into my e-mail, and would you believe I received the following message from Phil:

Not to keep you from your school work more than I should.. but this an interview with two of my favorite public figures right now..

Jim wallis and stanley hauwerwass.

Thanks, Phil. Now I'm getting personal invitations from you via e-mail to distract me. I love you, man.
