I have changed my user name from “ddsun” to “Sunny Daze”. I bring this to the attention of anyone who may wonder who the heck “Sunny Daze” might be. I have been here a while now and do not require a second meeting with the goat and/or squid. 😃 I am willing to discuss meeting for beers/coffee with residents of Oregon, however. Heck, Washington even. ---

_disappointedly sends the squid away_ Welcome, **Sunny Daze**. You know, not officially. A good name change can really be a nice refresher. I changed mine a few years ago. No regrets. ---

Very evocative, I like it. Makes me think of those times in the warm parts of the year when it would be too hot if it was just a little warmer, but it’s not… ---

Pittsburghers might remember **Sonny Dayes Stage Door** , a bar on route 51 that featured nearly nude dancers and an occasional band. I saw a very talented woman there who could swing one tassel clockwise and the other counterclockwise at the same time. The crowd actually hushed and watched in awe. ---

So you’re saying **ddsun** is now available, for when I get tired of my current name? I’ll make a note… ---

I like it too. Usernames that have lots of letters or numbers leave me cold and, well, this’ll warm me right up. 😉
