Year: 2003

  • 2004: More travel than ever

    2004 will be the year Philip Travels Much More Than Ever Before. Kicking off the year will be my annual trip next week to visit King & Gwen & Kibble in the grand city of San Francisco. And then, in April – it’s off to Sydney & Brisbane, Australia! Woo hoo! More on that later,…

  • obvious

    Can you guess what one of my New Year’s Resolutions is? Yup, that’s right – updating my blog more frequently. Hee!

  • Christmas 2003

    My brother Scott came to town from his nest in Kansas City and my mom travelled up from Fort Oglethorpe to spend Christmas Day at my house in Red Bank. We had a nice time.

  • Christmas Carolling

    Following in tradition of years past, Carla & Kenny/Kenneth/Sir Ken Pritchard had a combination Christmas Party/Birthday Party for their son Cameron. In addition to tasty treats and fun chats, most of us from the party went carolling by the light of candles, wandering down Fair St (and some of Berkely) singing Christmas Carols to the…

  • Taking the pulse

    Tonight I had fun hanging out with the staff of the Chattanooga Pulse – the new weekly paper that debuted only a couple weeks ago! I salute Zach, Mike, Bill, and Eric for taking the leap of faith and making their dream real. Check it out – racks of Pulses are more and more places…

  • trying iBlog

    Ok, now I’ve implemented iBlog (instead of using blogger.com) to generate my blogs. Here’s hoping it leads to more (and perhaps even better) updates.

  • The Office Party

    Last night some friends gathered at my house to watch the entire first season of the hit British comedy “The Office.” It was a lot of fun – in addition to chatting with each other and watching 6 episodes back-to-back and eating fish and chips, I even had a drawing for a couple office prizes:…

  • Clowning with words

    Stumped for ideas on office/home celebrations? This is a little unsettling. Ouchy, indeed! And thanks to King for this reference for all those new-falutin’ words that sift through our consciousness like thought-size flour in a society-size sieve.

  • Arranging pictures on the internet wall

    I’ve added some more pictures in the, well, y’know, the pictures area. I’ve been dabbling with Webpics and iView Multimedia, pondering organization versus workflow versus artistic integrity versus Aquaman. Hmm.

  • Version 6 of pluckey’s web

    Ok, the redesign of this site is in progress. So far, so good. Hello, Version 6. Obviously not all links are active and/or consistent yet.

  • Danni!

    I went to see my friend Dan Landrum in concert with Yanni last night in Nashville. I enjoyed the show – amazing lighting, interesting music (especially the solo performances). I was sitting in the row with Diane Fish of WSMC, Carla & Kenny and Kenny’s sister Caroline, Madeline & Brian, and a few thousand other…

  • Trish’s favorite song

    It’s good to see that Trish has a new musical passion: Check it out!

  • La Boheme

    I made it to & through the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera‘s performance of La Boheme Saturday night. Best of all, Trish and Harv came back to town this past weekend for a quick visit from DC! It was great to see them again; next month I’ll be returning the favor when I travel to Washington…

  • All hail Dave Barry. And the Onion.

    Of course I’m a Dave Barry fan, and I find his blog to be entertaining, as is another great site, Perversion Tracker. (Now, now… it’s software perversion, folks. No, wait, that could also be misconstrued…) And how could I not mention The Onion? Ah, yes.

  • re-thinkening this page

    Ok, about time to revitalize this web site again. I like the blog capabilities, but a cleaner redesign is needed. The links aren’t organized as well as I would like, and there’s more content I’d like to add. Maybe once I transition to a faster machine…hmmm…

  • Dan’s world tour

    Looks like my buddy Dan Landrum is having a good time playing hammer dulcimer on Yanni’s World Tour! Check out his web site for updates on his surviving & thriving. He’s very talented (and naturally a Mac user), so it’s good to see him getting recognition. Get a CD. Or a dozen!

  • Pancake Day 2003

    Well, another Pancake Day has come and gone! I enjoyed the celebration hosted last night by Kenny and Carla Pritchard, my near-neighbors. I even learned to cook a crepe, and was then given the opportunity to create a few dozen of them. Good times.
