So what's with this whole frog thing anyhow?

I thought I'd go ahead and cover this on the front end, since I'm sure it will come up time and time again - and may still, but what the hey...

I'll start with what it is not - it is not some sort of inside joke, high school nickname, comment about my capability to jump tall buildings in a single bound, etc., etc.

Sometime around late high school, early college, my predilection for frogs started to manifest itself. Mind you, this was not a total dominating fascination with frogs, but just a "hey, y'know, I think frogs are kind of cool" sort of thing. About the same time, for whatever reason, there was this line of apparel started for Peacefrogs, and I bought a shirt or two. I think maybe I also signed up for AOL at that same time, and my moniker there was Worldfrog. (Yes, I'm sure I could have been jjohnson50683 or some other creative name, but I chose Worldfrog, so there.) When I later switched to Mindspring, I was again Worldfrog. However, I have really enjoyed the Frog and Toad stories by Arnold Lobel. So when I once again changed ISP's, I ceased to be Worldfrog (actually mainly because apparently somebody else wanted to be Worldfrog) and became the Old Dark Frog.

So, there you go. Nothing terribly exciting. No stories involving midnight frog raids at camp, or frog throwing contests, or whatever else may be running through your devious mind.
