A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME: Choosing a domain name

It is not easy to choose a domain name.

I thought of titles like teacher travel or senior sojourns. Nope. Boring.

I’ve always liked the phrase “kick-ass.” I remember my nephew saying his dad had a kick-ass job.   Most people would call it a long and distinguished career. I prefer kick-ass. There’s a little spark to the word and it’s fun to say.

I’ve gotten mixed reactions when I tell friends I’m doing a new site called kick-ass travel. Some like the word and think the site will be fun; others don’t like it at all.

George H W Bush jumped out of an airplane to celebrate his ninetieth birthday. That’s one excellent adventure. That’s  kick-ass.

I am very lucky to have led a fun, maybe even kick-ass life as I’ve traveled on excellent adventures, both near and far from home, and I’ll tell you all – hmmm, maybe not all – about them. I enjoy making new memories with words and images.

You can follow along as I embark on new adventures.

I’m building this lighthearted site, full of photos with stories to match.

I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to let me know how you feel about it.

WELCOME!
