I am not very creative. The first forum I ever visited to learn about cooking ribs (Pi Pirate BBQ), the moderator used his full name, so I used my real name as well. I carried that over to the Char broil forum. When I found this place, I tried to change it a bit, and used my initials instead. I kept my avatar of my deceased all time favorite Golden, since that way I get to see him every time I log on! I still rescue and still have Goldens at home, but he was very special.
