No, it’s not my birthday. That’s December 23rd for those of you inclined to gift giving. The Phil Factor is one year old today. For that I would like to thank everyone who has ever commented on this blog. Without your encouragement I would have abandoned this project long ago. Although I’ve enjoyed discovering the fun of writing for others I’ve also enjoyed meeting so many of you through your blogs. When I make it big and publish a novel you’ll all get a mention inside the book cover.
