Even though I’m mostly a lurker, I’ve been here long enough that some of you might recognize me by my old screen name. I’ve retired my old name, wmulax93 and adopted this new one that’s more reflective of where I’m at in life now. I haven’t played lacrosse or attended WMU in over a decade, so it was well past time for a change!
Yep, I know you. Thanks for the heads up!
Stick 'em!
I mean, happy driving.
I always assumed your previous name referred to some alien nomenclature, e.g. my name is wmulax 93 from Omicron Perseid 8.
Yeah, having a name people could actually pronounce played a bit of a role, too. 
Yeah, wmulax always seemed sci-fi-y to me, too.

But you’ve gone and done the same thing: defined yourself by your role in one phase of your life.
And another transitory one. (Many of us remember those days of driving the kids; driving the kids and the kids’ loud friends; driving the kids and the kids’ louder hockey team, driving the kids and the kids’ even louder scout troop, driving the kids and the kids’ ear-splitting bandmates…)
But enjoy the chaos while it lasts. I did, but before I knew it, I got to be DadEmptyNesterSmallQuietCarDriver!
Ha, nice point.
I don’t know if I’ll ever not have a minivan again, though. I frickin’ love my ride!
Plus, we’re getting a fun car for my wife next year, so all needs are met!
Never admit to loving a minivan DWD. You could lose your security clearance for that.
I’m out and proud with my minivan love.
