The day of the end of Hiatus found me at work... I am a therapist for children and had just started a new group of nine to twelve year olds. They could tell that I was in a great mood and they wanted to know why... I told them my favorite band had been on an extended break and now they decided to play together again. I said I was very excited to see them in concert...

They asked where they were going to play, and I said New York City... Oh where 9/11 happened...Yes, I said. Be careful, they said. I will, I said. One kid perked up and asked who are they. blink 182? No not blink 182.  it's Phish, with a Ph... Cool,  they said.

Well I left group to take a call, and when I returned, they said, We came up with a name for our group (which was that day's problem to solve). We want to be called the Phish... and one piped in with... yeah, and with a PH.
