So, I'm a week and a day into my new job (this is Philip) and so far it's been pretty swell. The people are good, the work is interesting enough, and when we had a "copy emergency" this week, I did a fast batch of rewrites and the response was, universally, "Great! Thank you!" Then I stood around waiting for the seven rounds of rewrites and the "What if you said it this way instead?" but it never came. "Great! Thank you!" Is that any way to run a business?
Anyway, the company sells all manner of athletic type clothing that you can customize with team and school names and player names and numbers and such. There is a large database of schools and club teams and rec teams that I was playing around with to see if I could come up with any amusing combinations (so far one of my favorites is a shirt from the St. Vitus Elementary school in New York that I reconfigured so it read "St. Vitus Dance Team" -- look it up). So before this turns into a plug, I would just like to show you the t-shirts that Mimi and I are already threatening to wear to Yuki's high school graduation.

Of course, we'd insist Yuki wear this:
Our daughter is going to love her adolescence.
And for anyone keeping track, kiddo's head wound is healing nicely. In fact, we have moved from the gigantic forehead-encompassing bandages, to the far less subtle but way cuter "Hello Kitty" bandages. (Thanks to pal Nikki for the photo).
I don't know where the sunglasses came from.
