Just thought I'd give you guys a little 'history lesson' on me. :-) My new e-mail addy seems a bit odd I'm sure to some... so here's the skinny.



My Grandmother started calling me 'Komish' while I was still in my mommy's belly. As the story goes... My parents were flooded out of their house in



1975, during a 100-year flood. Apparently... because the house was flooded my mother couldn't get to her birth control in the house. And hence, me...
12 years younger than my brother... unplanned. The rivers that flooded were the 'Snohomish and Skykomish'. So... Komish. Thankfully... Grandma was the only one who used it and only when she made me something or wrote me a letter.

My brother got stuck with 'Bronco' and it really stuck. Everyone calls him Bronco... most people don't know his real name. lol



Well... sorry for the rambling. Just thought I'd fill ya'll in. Have a great night!!

"Parrothead Jenn" That is a very nice story. But I was wondering where you got the name Parrothead. I know there must be a story here. Hugs Irene/Fl

Parrothead is just a reference to my Jimmy Buffett obsession. :-) You know, Margaritaville? I was introduced to the Buffett craze in 1998 and have been hooked since. His fans are referred to as 'Parrotheads' ... Kind of like 'DeadHeads' for the Grateful Dead.
