Ok, so
what's
with the name? To understand the name, you first need to know
mine. My first name is Day. That's right, opposite of
night. Would you believe I have a sister named Dawn and a brother
named Dusk? Well I do! I also have a sister named
Deanna, but that's neither here nor there, and anyway, I digress.
All
my life people have made puns with my name. I have heard so many,
that it has literally been 2 years since I have heard a new one. (That
is not
an invitation to try and come up with a new one!) Anyway, I came
up
with a new one. When I was trying to come up with personalized
plates for my car, I was thinking DAYSCAR? DAYS? and then it hit me:
DAZE. Cars so consume my thoughts that I am not always thinking
clearly (just ask my wife), kind of like I'm in a daze, and it sounds
like Day's. So, that
is why this website has the word Daze all over it. To take it a
little further, the license plates on my wife's car reads DAYS
LUV. The
question is, do the plates refer to my wife or the
car (she wonders the same thing). The last licence plate is on
the Galaxie and it
reads LTL NOTE. The story behind it is that we
bought this car because we were starting a family and
needed a "family car". When my daughter was in utero we
referred to her as "little note", since we are a musical couple.
It only seemed appropriate to have the plates on
the car reflect the nickname of the one that created its need. So
there you
go! Probably way more information than you wanted, but now
you know what's with the name.
