RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

5/09/2025

NAMES

 When I was in my twenties, a foreman worked for me who always called me PJ.  It stuck with his crew and others in the company.  I thought it might be a lifetime moniker but it went away when I left that company.  I still respond to it but hear it very seldom.

Some of the rich and famous of our country use initials in lieu of names.  Here are a few:  B.F.Goodrich, J.P.Morgan, J.C.Penny, P.T.Barnum, B.B.King, J.D.Salinger, T.S.Eliot, U.S.Grant, C.C.Sabathia, and M.C.Hammer.  Can you think of any others?  

I can think of one:  RJ, my grandson.  It looks like he'll be known by his initials the rest of his life.  I think it's great.  I also think he will some day be as famous as those I've named above.  

Stay curious, RJ.  Use all the talents God has given you.  I love you.
