It's my name.

I was lucky to have known to register as soon as Fodor's changed the system so I was able to get to use my real name.

steve (my real name) was taken.
ssteve (with 2 s's) was taken.
sssteve wasn't taken.

I've been using "sssteve" since the earliest days of the internet. Does anybody remember chatting on "BROADCAST" ?????

My screen name came from a boat a once owned and named. The boat was a Wayfarer and when I was looking for a name for it, a thesaurus suggested Stumblebum as meaning wayfarer, wanderer etc.

It has stuck ever since. It suited theboat and suited our travels, which have stopped now for far too long owing to expense of another larger boat...

I decided on my name after my favorite pastry "Ispahan" by Pierre Herme. It is a full size rose macaron filled with raspberries (framboise) with a cream flavored with rose syrup and chopped lychees.

The problem is what to do when PH stops making this confection but will face that one when the time comes!

On a certain trip to PV with two girlfriends I went horsebackriding (thus "Dale" as in Rogers) and that night I met my second bed companion who made me scream. My mates were in the other room. THus the fusion HoDale.

My 'camp' name is "Maven". After an interview about my travels in Mexico, I was nicknamed "Travel Maven" and it's stuck.

What a blast from the past! So many names we haven't seen for a long time. I don't know how pariswat found this, but thanks for the memories.
