The first board I ever participated in (an AOL chat room) was all about music. My screen name is a mashup of my favorite type of music and my name.

It's an acronym for "Master of Space and Time"

DS was into He-Man back in the day, I think there was a character. or villain, with the title of "Master of the Universe" playing along with him and his friends I told them I was more powerful, I was "Master of Space and Time" and the Universe was a small part of Space and Time. Of course, this just produced groans and laughter. I thought it was funny.

I served on three different subs over the years, and do not feel right naming myself after any one of them.

As a military retiree, I had the chance to re-invent myself. I bought bare land out in the woods and built a homestead for my family.

Our farm is on solar power, and we are organic farmers.

This was our vision for 'retirement', so this is the path that we have followed.

When I penned the name for forums, I was a ski instructor, referred to as Ski Pros, just as golf instructors are referred to as Golf Pros. I had locker #33, hence skipro33. That's how I was listed on the assignment roster.

For whatever reason, my mind interprets your user name as "skip ro(w) 33"...

When you said it was your first one, I wondered if you'd had about twenty of them.

My first introduction to the beauty of the Pacific North West was when my then boss took me to eat at a clif-side seafood restaurant on Chuckanut Drive. This poor, ill-informed, ignorant boy from So Cal was very impressed at so much beauty so near to a small town that actually got snow in the Winter.

By the way those of your who ever stayed at the Leopold Hotel in Bellingham may want to know that once again it will be a hotel, along with apartments.

The historic Leopold Hotel building in downtown Bellingham, WA will transition from a retirement residency to a mixed use boutique 31-room new hotel and 61-unit apartment building in summer 2019.

Up till now my mind-picture of you was a person with your avatar's face and washboard abs.
