    I wanted something that just rolled off the tongue, and I'm a meteorologist.

    Stuttered badly as a kid, couldn't pronounce my middle name Greg. Older cousin "lovingly" named me Gegor, which is what it sounded like and other relatives picked up on it. Lost the stutter but kept the moniker.

    Well my guess is that no one could figure out that I'am (at the time) from South Texas. Have since retired and moved to Minnesota, close to my kids and grand-kids. Can't see changing my username to Minnie (mouse) .

    I was sailing in Puget Sound and got a bit mixed up in the fog between Port Angeles, WA. and Victoria BC. Compasses are good, but when it's that foggy you just sort of hope that the technology is worth its salt. At any rate it reminded me of my TSP account and plotting a course in the in the markets...same story different location... and just as an aside..I remember that Tom helped me with the moniker..

    I was born in 1965 and I love Vintage Guitars. My dream guitar is a 1965 Gibson Byrdland. Maybe when I win the lottery..................

    What part of South Texas are you from? I used to stay in San Antonio, and travel to FCI Bastrop, and on down to FCI Three Rivers. Stayed in George West a few times. Some great BBQ places around there. Cooper's in Llano. And a little place called Van's outside of Three Rivers that was in an old gas station. Larapin.
    Even fished Choke Canyon Lake a few times and stayed in the Nolan Ryan Bass Inn.
    Did you ever frequent any of those places?

    I worked at the Continental -United CMO / FAA in Houston, I lived south in Galveston county little town of Bayou Vista. I did do some hunting in west Texas, just south of Campwood. Most of my travels were international, I was assigned to Continental Micronesia, lots of travel to Guam and Eastern Asia.
    No never did frequent any of those places you mentioned but I bet they're great.

    I live just across the Texas line in Arkansas these days (lower property taxes). But, I was born and raised in Texas. No place like it.
    I do plan to visit Minn. one day. Beautiful lakes, and great fishing.
