Philip
Look, it’s Philip surrounded by books. What a shock!
- In the last few years, two boys he sort of liked visibly quailed at the number of books in his apartment. If you’re not that sort of boy, get in touch.
- The ginger ale bottles over his shoulder were what he used to toast his college campus when he was a senior. This is a double revelation: 1) He doesn’t drink and 2) Williamsburg, VA. is the home of some darn fine ginger ale.
- He was born in a D.C. hospital, then decamped for Arlington. He feels that it is about time to decamp back in.
- He is always working on some writing/editing project. If you see him about town and want to say hello, that’s a pretty good thing to ask him about. He’s always happy to share details ad nauseum.

During my freshman year of college, I ate breakfast with Philip on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings before calculus. True story. That was the last time I took a math class (or, for that matter, ate breakfast regularly).
Firstly, I'm extremely impressed by the use of the word "quailed." I'm glad to know there are other people in the world with too many books. And, I love ginger ale.
I find that the reaction of people to lots of books says so much about them.
(I finally ended up with a boy who is to DVDs of old movies as I am to books, so it all worked out in the end. Chin up and keep working that million-buck smile.)
