What's in a name?

You may be wondering about my screen name and name of my web address (Zeppie) or maybe not. But I thought I would share it with you any way. So here it goes.

As you may know from personal experience, coming up with a screen name is usually a challenge. There is always more than one cardsfan or droberts or any other countless combinations that you try to think of. So one day when trying to come up with a screen name for Ebay, or something of the sort, I began to run out of options.

It just so happened that I was a collector of Pez dispensers. That's right Pez . You know, the candy dispensers with the character heads. That for another blog, another day. So, I tried to think of several combinations that included Pez and finally stumbled upon Zeppie. Pez spelled backwards with ...pie (pronounced zepp as in zeppelin and ending in long e). It seems like most places I am the first to claim zeppie, so it stuck.
