What's in a name?

My avatar is one of the standard ones that surprisingly, at least I think, looks somewhat like me, brown hair, beard.

My last name is Polish, long, and, according to many, somewhat difficult to pronounce. I was one of the only people in my high school gym classes that was called by my first name (most coaches used only last names back then). Most people trying to call attendance would go "Jeff"......and start spelling "K...", and I would say "here". So it sounded like my name was "Jeff K". I noticed that "jeffk" is often not taken when registering online in different places and started using it. My car license plate is also JEFF-K.

Kind of speaks for it self My name is Bob and I have a place on Sunset Lake (passed down from my parents)They met there when my farther was building the camp.I also keep a boat at Parker Marine in Alton Bay
My parents told me that I was 3 weeks old the first time I came up to the lake but I don't remember.
