thanks for the thoughts and grins...interesting stuff... y'all obviously

Well, I don't about the rest of the y'all in question, but I, for one,
would never even consider some fru-fru Yankee music school for a REAL
education...even a cheap one...

one thing for sure, as it's an escape from my work, the boat's name will
not be a reminder of that work... so all the law-related stuff won't be
used. sorry i didn't indicate that at the outset. i liked several
suggestions, but either the difficulty in pronunciation (that cherokee
stuff was great, bob) or rachel quickly vetoed them.

Good. People with career-related boat names look silly...or worse,
nouveau riche...

in her usual incisive manner, rachel suggested "hamartia"...but, i'm
thinking i'd have a bit of trouble in the anticipated calls to the coast
guard or sea tow, not to mention among my fellow redneckians, and, well,
there is my superstitious nature.

OK, since my first suggestion went unappreciated, and given the apparent
concern for potential, er, situations, howsabout "THIS SIDE UP!" and an
arrow pointing to the gunwale painted upside down on the transom and
both sides?
