Actually, I was thinking a good name for a cat would be Peeve. That way I could talk about my pet Peeve.

As long as we are on pet names, I have three dogs, Stella, Adrian, and Kevin. When I call them, I am no longer a lone photographer calling a dog. I am Marlon Brando standing in the streets of New Orleans calling to his wife,"Stella, Hey, Stella." I'm Rocky Balboa after the big fight calling to his love. I am the parent on the flight to Paris, realizing that Kevin has been left in Chicago.

My next dog--Bond, James Bond.
My next cat--Pussy Galore.

Riding Waves, yes I am a real surfer, the kind that uses a surfboard to ride ocean waves, rather that the 'surfer' who 'surfs the internet'. I am by far not the oldest one in any wave lineup, but far from the youngest. Hawaii has the widest age range of surfers, some going up to 3/4 of Mr P. Engineer's age! A healthy pursuit, and a fine way to enjoy the afternoon.

I know a fellow photographer who had a black and white cat named 'Monochrome'.

Use the Porn Star/Drag Queen Name Game to name your children. Take the name of your first pet and the first street you lived on. In my case, it would be Dusty Philadelphia. Or in the case of a friend of mine from Singapore - Fishy Bugis (he had a goldfish and was singularly unimaginative in naming it).

I had the twisted idea of one day adopting triplets and naming them Donatien, Alphonse, and Francois. Round about when they get to high school English, I'll get a phonecall from their teacher asking me what exactly was on my mind when I named them, and what kind of books do I keep in the house (for those not aware, those are the given names of the Marquis De Sade). Then again, it probably would be an inside joke between myself and God, since it's probably too obscure a reference.

Hmmm... If I did that, my kids would be Heidi Boy Scout, Josephine Phinizy, Buttons Bedford, Athena Jean, Mama Kitty Whiteoak, Tiny Morris, Rupert Whitfield, and last but not least, Sheba Carretera 971.

Serutan is Natures spelled backwards too.

I'm older than dirt. I rember when there were dinosaurs. And, I don't look a day over 90.

I remember a time before dinosaurs when everything was quiet and peaceful. Oh how I miss those days, I think George bush is going to bring them back.

My dog's name is Romeo. You can imagine what I sound like when I call him. He was a pound rescue and my daughter nicknamed him Romeo since he would hump anything regardless of species or gender, animate or inanimate. The nickname stuck.
