Naming Bob

I'm an amateur actress. Community theater devotee. I name my pets after parts I have played. So a male dog presents a bit of a problem in that the options are more limited. But I had a few gender-neutral character names in my pocket. One was Smitty from "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." Gosh I had fun in that show! And the other option was from the "Nunsense" canon. I was Sr. Robert Ann. And pre-show meet-n-greet line was "Call me Bob."

So my choice was between Smitty and Bob. Now that I reflect, both  characters are beautifully open to whatever comes along. But that barrel-chest. Yeah, he's Bob.

Which is a little tricky. I've dated a couple guys named Bob. Huh, occurs to me that both relationships were  especially meaningful. Huh. Anyway, it is possible that I will meet a guy named Bob. And he might not be crazy about sharing a name with my dog.

But then, if he can't deal with my dog's name, maybe he's not the right man for me. We're a package deal. Me and Bob.

Be Like Bob lesson -- listen to who you really are.

Good lesson. Thanks Bob
