I'm afraid it will take some work to "join up" my branch, which looks like this.

None.

===== Nom =====


I attended the [[cons:1995:photos|1995 Portland convention]] as a non-member, and began thinking about a 
nom then. An attractive choice (from my point of view) was "Jr." (pronounced Junior), because

  * "Jr." is part of my name (it's on my birth certificate, really!).
  * "J" and "r" are the first and last letters of "Joe Miller" and "Joe L. Miller, Jr.", the two forms of my full name I        use most often.
  * They are also the first and last letters of "Juggler," which allows me an indirect reference to my other favorite hobby.

Unfortunately, a well-liked woman with the nom Junior had died recently, and discreet inquiries established that it
would be inappropriate for me to adopt it (even in an  abbreviated form).

Over the next couple of weeks, I considered many alternatives, but finally hit upon JrMan, which (by using a
captial M) allowed me to retain the "Jr" associations, with my chosen pronunciation ("German") adding a reference 
to my Amish heritage.
