    I've had quite a few avatars. They are scattered all over between three PC's. Just changed it back to a big favorite that I asked permission to use from the artist, the "Monkey Roger". My most recent one is an actor who portrays Ben Franklin signing "hang loose" and "call me" which I find very funny.

    Here are a few others that happen to be on my laptop:

    No, worse than the Padres.

    The Padres ownership didn't sabotage the team's last two months of the season, two years running.

    Hah! The Padres ownership has sabotaged the team's entire season every year since 1999 (the year after San Diego voters approved financing for a downtown ballpark, but that's merely a coincidence, I'm sure) by refusing to spend the money for decent players. In 2012, the team had the lowest payroll in the National League.

    However: the team was just sold to a group of investors that includes the O'Malley family, former owners of the NY/LA Dodgers. Given the historic performance of that club over the years—especially after the move to California—there's reason for hope.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Mine is a pic of my 2 fluffy and furry girls Phoebe and Penelope! Just petted them less than an hour ago, and can't wait to get home to pet them some more!

    My dear Aunt Ethelyn wrote children's books, mostly about kids age 11 & 12.

    Her generosity enabled me (first licensed at age 15) to get on the air

    with a homebrew 100 watt xmtr and triple-conversion receiver (both using WWII surplus parts).

    In 1968, with technical assistance from my brother W9JDG and I, she wrote Today I am a Ham.

    She "borrowed" my callsign for her main character, Eric, a boy, like me, not too athletically inclined.

    Over the years, it's been gratifying to receive letters and email from hams

    who attribute their introduction to our hobby to her book. :)
