What's in a name?

[skylord]

This is a nick name given to me in High School. They also called me "sky" a lot and I use that one too. I flew my first radio control airplane when I was about 5 yrs old. I started building balsa kits shortly after that. Got my first radio when I was about 12 yrs old by the time I got into high school I was doing stunts with planes that impressed my friends. I got the nick name in 1970. I was rear ended a little over 2 years ago and it did permanent damage to my optic nerve so I cant fly anymore yet I still have about 50 airplanes and 8 helicopters.

I chose this name five years ago while living and working in Germany. I also use it for my online blog and pbase photography site.

It's a very unique name, I remember before really starting to post here, I saw yours come up on some random reef forum that had next to no activity, small world I say!!!

Anyway - mine is a weird combo, it's a mix of a Kurt Vonnegut saying from Slaughterhouse Five (so it goes...) and just my mantra of life!

I'm disappointed, I figured Ruth's name would be far more exciting! :P

I'm interested in seeing the reason for EmilyB's name.

Oh, and Quagmire - Giggity.

Nick--heh, really? You saw my name somewhere off in the randomness that is cyberspace? Well, I DO get around. Uhhh....

I like "andsoitgoes". Cause....yeah. It does. :-)

WOW - those are beautiful. Do you carve other animals besides birds? Do you sell these carvings?

Sorry about your eye damage
Interesting that my brother's nickname is also Sky and he probably got it in the 1970's as well - but because he is tall.

Chef and Ruth ...............Thanks for your kind remarks


Ruth ,Yes I do sell them ,the falcon, eagle head ,and barn owl all were sold in the U.K. ( my brother has a carving studio there )
The mallards on the table I have kept .
