Talk about a blast from the past: in that I am in Santa Rosa now for a handball tournament, as I was in Honolulu three weeks ago, maybe I should have considered Blue Balls? Hand on balls? Balling for miles?

And, although International Crime Lord, Have Handcuffs, Will Travel, and Freelance Screw all have their charm, there is a danger in shouting out your job. Will I have to change to Paroled Jailer when I retire?
Also, geographic designations can be ephemeral in our transitory breed. One FT buddy, AustinTxHiker, now lives in New England. Similarly, loyalty promiscuity can render hotel/airline-linked names obsolete.
So, thinking about your current personal brand, are you misnamed?
