    I like Bear! It's a common name ("Bjørn") in Norwegian so I'm used to the connotation.

    Can I tell my Fruit Stand name joke again? Oh please, lots of new readers here now... can I? Can I?

    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    It was the first day of school, and all the little first-graders came to school with a card around their neck with their name on. One small boy's card read "Fruit Stand". The teacher found this a a little unusual, but this was back in the 70s when every other hippy child was called Moonbeam or Sunflower or Raindance. He was quite shy, and didn't react much when talked to, but lots of kids are shy in the beginning.

    The day over, he was ready to take the school bus home, and the driver asked where he was going. Little Fruit Stand just looked at him and pointed at the card round his neck. The driver turned it over, and there on the other side, printed in neat letters, was the name "Anthony".

    I knew a kid in high school named Bear. He was a real sweetie and a hugger.
    It's a good legacy to give to a boy.
    I can do five more miles.
