Why I Chose My Silver Name

Choosing a name that I would from now on be associated with was a bit harder than I figured. At first, I was going to use the name "Big John Silver", a reference to Long John Silver but a twist because I am 'big', not 'long'. I went against that one because I need to get in a 'small' mindset to help myself get smaller. At least that's what I started telling myself.
What can it be? SilverStar? Silverwater? (water is my favorite drink). I didn't think of SilverTexan before (I am proud to be from Texas). Now I'm second guessing my final decision which was "SilverScout". Maybe some of the older people out there get the reference. Or maybe you got it from the picture. If the reference is eluding you, let me refresh your memory with a little clue. "High Ho Silver away". Yes, the Long Ranger. The name of his horse, of course, is Silver. The name of his trusty sidekick's (Tonto) horse is "Scout".
I thought, yeah, that sounds good. I can relate to that. So, the SilverScout was created.

I am a Texan residing in the Philippines. I am proudly retired from the US Air Force. I have been married since April 1980, to the same Filipina. My short-term goal in life is to be able to save enough money for a trip to Texas to see my elderly parents and long-term to live at least 100 healthy years.
