Philaahzophy Posts On "Aahz"-
Subcategories: Fatherhood | Ride Reports | Road Trippin' |
Hi! I’m Aahz and this category is all about me :) It’s where I post things that don’t necessarily relate to anything else here at Philaahzophy and are (probably) not of any interest to those who don’t know me personally.
Of course, it’s also home to several sub-categories all of which may very well be of interest to complete strangers. So I suppose you’ll just have to explore for yourself…

Celebrating 75 Years of Drive-Ins With The Wizard Of Oz
Posted on April 24, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood | Leave a Comment
The first drive-in movie theater opened in Camden, New Jersey on June 6, 1933 with a screening of Wife Beware starring Adolph Menjou. However, for some reason drive-ins across the country (or at least in the western states) have decided to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the drive-in movie by showing The Wizard of Oz tonight. If they’d waited until the…

Part of the Riddles and Puzzles Series - Next in series
Picked up Z from school today and was immediately presented with a riddle that Ms. Falconer (her favorite teacher and mine) offered up to the class today. Anyone who solves the riddle will receive an in class reward. I believe I can figure it out, but we’re on…
Moving Forward With My Weight Loss Goals
Posted on April 24, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | 5 Comments
Thirteen days to my weight loss deadline and I’ve been cracking down rather successfully. Last week I reported that I’d bounced back up to 242 pounds, well I’m proud to report that I’ve not only regained my footing, but moved even further into territory that hasn’t been explored in a few years: 235 pounds! WooHoo! That’s a net weight loss…
Rover Passed His Test - Now For His Reward
Posted on April 23, 2008 - Filed Under Road Trippin', Shopping | Leave a Comment
As I’ve mentioned, Rover (my beloved 1989 Ford Bronco) passed his smog check today. Given his age, the fact I’m not remotely a mechanic, and that he’s classified by the DMV as having a “High Emitter Profile” I seriously had my doubts. Z, on the other hand, had complete faith. Now that we know Rover won’t be stolen away by…
Keep Your Windshield Clear On Cold Mornings
Posted on April 23, 2008 - Filed Under Road Trippin' | Leave a Comment
Living the bulk of my life in California (and traditionally being a late sleeper) I’ve only rarely walked out to my car on a cold morning only to discover the windshield so covered with frost that I couldn’t see out of it. However, while chatting with a native New Hampshirite the other day he passed on a tip to avoid…
72 Hours Tobacco Free - An Apology
Posted on April 23, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
I passed the 72 hour mark without smoking a cigarette a few short minutes ago. Overall today was definitely easier than yesterday. But it still had its challenges.
The morning started with the return commute to San Jose to finish getting Rover smogged (I promise to post my rant on this tomorrow), but this time I hit major traffic. After being essentially parked…
Approaching 48 Tobacco Free Hours - Getting Edgy
Posted on April 22, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
With my weight loss deadline looming a mere 15 days away I decided to up the ante a bit and stop smoking as well. Note that I did not say “I’m trying to quit smoking again” or anything like that. I was very specific: I have stopped smoking.
While returning fro dropping off Z on Sunday I knew the time had…
TS Gun Show Pretty Much A Bust
Posted on April 20, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Living Free | Leave a Comment
Yesterday I took Z to her first gun show. 
I don’t know what I was expecting, but somehow it was still disappointing.
I had hoped to find some fellow freedom lovers at the gun show. At minimum some literature I could study and use to educate Z on the true meaning of freedom. No such luck. In fact, I’d love to…
