You may have noticed I went about 8 months between the first post and the second. Why the big gap, you ask?

Well, aside from the fact that I was a little busy raising two tireless little boys, I couldn’t think of a good name.

My first choice was “Orchestral Manoeuvres”. Clever, huh? Actually, not so much. First, “manoeuvres” is a very hard word to spell. I had to consult my dictionary each time I entered the URL. Second, as interesting as my workplace can be, I can’t really write about a lot of what goes on and still feel secure in my job.

Next, I tried the name route. dearlove.blogspot.com was taken. So was oread.blogspot.com (my nickname). Some guy took that one and wrote one post about a year ago. Loser.

Anyway, I finally settled on Dearlove Quartet (because there’s four of us, get it?) To be on the safe side, I’ve also reserved Dearlove Quintet and Dearlove Sextet. Just in case…
