A bit of trivia - I took on the "gordo" not because of my girth (or lack thereof), but because in the very early days of personalized direct mail my name as printed on envelopes always seemed to be truncated to: "pritchard, gordo" I guess there was a limitation on the number of letters allowed in a text string way back in the days of steam-powered PCs. I found it interesting how a limitation in computing technology could end up defining you - so I took it on as a reminder.
