(The first was when I quoted the theme song to <i>Greatest American Hero</i>.) You're going to have to work them out on your own. :) L & I are in high level talks about baby names right now, so I'm thinking a lot about names and their associations.

Shedding the diminutive was a struggle. Only years later did I learn that "Ralph" was being used as a verb, so I'm thinking about re-affirming the diminutive.
