"Mooses" started as a joke between my wife and I on our honeymoon. She's from Estonia, so often times I get Estonglish when speaking to her. Anyway, we were hiking in Teton during our honeymoon and we had a discussion of whether it was "moose" or "mooses" for the plural reference...as we had just passed a group of moose. So, for the rest of our honeymoon she was calling them "mooseses", plural 2x, as a joke. I just went with "Mooses".

Last name is "Huyck" pronounced "Hike". (Dutch). As can be imagined, throws folks for a loop trying to get it right. So am constantly asked how to pronounce. One time while being questioned for a jury panel def. atty asked me how to pronounce my name, (he had it in writing in front of him), I told him, he said.."Oh, that's Huyck huh?" I said "Yes, Huyck, as in Take a..". He looked at me and smiled and so "Oh Take a Hike..." I just smiled back. I was first one dismissed from jury duty..YEE HAW!!
Wife bought new Lexus in Dec. She's getting new plates " 2 HUYCK" Again, the logical choice was taken. Whatever...I guess it keeps the state happy.

My brother gave it to me. Drew a pic of me once long ago when AOL was just in it's infancy and titled the pic NDeeWoods. I used that until I switched to Cruzio ISP and had to shorten it to ndwoods.

You used to be laetacara, didn't you? Love that site--I've consulted it any number of times about some dream destinations...giantbrookie wrote:giantbrookie was chosen because it is part of a title of a fishing book ('Into the Land of the Giant Brookies') I wrote years ago that I haven't gotten published. Of course "giantbrookie" is also chosen for some shock factor (both for the book and the username) because many might regard giant brookie as an oxymoron after having encountered dozens of "knockemdeadbrookie" lakes where you catch a stunted skinny brookie on every cast. Needless to say there really are big brookie lakes if one looks hard enough in the Sierra and the place my wife and I named the "Land of the Giant Brookies" was a basin of unnamed lakes where I caught fish of 15" and better out of four different lakes on a single dayhike.
My name goes back nearly 10 years, I think. I love Tehipite Valley, and 'Tehipite Tom' is kind of parallel to 'Yosemite Sam'. Er...a much kinder, gentler Yosemite Sam, of course.
