New Address

When gmail first came out, I got an email address there. My nickname is Fish so I wanted something like that. Of course, fish@gmail.com was taken as was fish1, fish2 and pretty much every other number at the end. But I tried my birth year and sure enough, that was available. At the time, advertising my age didn’t seem problematic.

Later, of course, it really seemed like a bad idea. But now I’m to that point where I can embrace it. My twitter handle is fish1964, most places where I pick a user name, that’s what it is, including Word Press where this is hosted. The URL has always been https://fish1964.wordpress.com/.

But now I own the domain, so while that URL still works, it will redirect to fish1964.com. I’m not totally sure why I care, but if I’m going to retire and get back to blogging, it seemed like I ought to own my handle.

Welcome to fish1964.com.
