PHIL'S BARBER SHOP

Well - It's old news now - but Phil's barber shop is open again... and it looks really nice in there. Mike is no longer cutting hair, his wife is terribly ill (says the new guy) so he's tending to her. The new guy is a short little dude who's as wide as he is tall - but he still gives the 6 dollar cut... although he's much more talkative than Mike ever was. They repainted the place, hung some old 50s and 60s movie posters - laid new flooring, even classed up the sink... the couch is gone, but they've put up a fancy tv. They've still got a few of those pesky magazines hanging around... but the heap of winnipeg sun back issues and reader's disgests are all gone.

In other news - I'm on a ninja kick this morning... don't know why, don't know if it really matters.
