My username comes from the name of a sailboat I spent a lot of time on. Many great memories on that boat.
Just got back from a business trip and loved catching up on all the stories! Thanks to everyone for posting.
@SalveMater @HImom at the Alan Sherman analysis level, your names are similar. 
My older son was a high school junior, so I was a junior parent at the time I signed up - he’s now 29! I think I should have come up with a better name.
I grew up in Michigan but now live in Georgia. The picture is of our 2 cats.
Everything else seemed to be taken.
I like your avatar, @pickpocket.
We have company, @hebegebe.
I had the nickname Tony K when I was a boy. The Boston Red Sox had a young phenom named Tony Conigliaro who took the city by storm. He was the home run champ and a local celebrity. But his rise came to a tragic fall one night on the West Coast. He was beaned in the face by a baseball, and almost died. A horrible ugly photo in the newspapers showed his huge black eye. He complained about blurred vision after surgery and his career soon came to an end.
His nickname was Tony C.
@dirtytoothbrush: “Everything else seemed to be taken.”
And no one else is going to go near that one, eh?
Hahaha! Sorry to muscle in on your clever idea @doschicos and @hebegebe . I am a long time C&H fan and these images always make me smile.
Great minds think alike. We need to get our smiles wherever and whenever we can, @pickpocket.
