My Man from the Land Far, Far Away was quite intrigued by my proposition in <a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/12/13/gifts-from-my-man-from-far-far-away/" target="_blank"><strong>last week's blog post</strong>.</a>

&nbsp;

No, it wasn't <em>that </em>kind of proposition.  Get your minds out of the gutter, naughty girls and boys.  Santa is watching!

&nbsp;

I was referring to my idea of brainstorming a new nickname for My Man from the Land Far, Far Away.

&nbsp;

It occurred to me that the nickname is much too long when written repeatedly in a blog post.  I also wondered why I was keeping up with this mysterious charade of the Land Far, Far Away when we all know from my not-so-subtle clues that the man hails from Italy.

&nbsp;

I solicited new nickname ideas at the very end of the post, and I already received a couple of suggestions:  Uncle C and Fabio.  (Thank you to Jennie and Kimeee!)

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #008000; font-size: medium;"><strong>The next day over Skype, my Man from the Land Far, Far Away dreamed up yet another idea:  An entire blog post devoted to choosing his nickname!  Readers share their suggestions in the comments section below, and then he chooses the winner! </strong></span>

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

You may be thinking, "Well...Didn't we kinda sorta do that already at the end of the last blog post?"

&nbsp;

Yes.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;"><strong>But we're dealing with an Italian here.  Remember that the terms "Diva" and "Divo" also hail from Italy.  </strong></span>

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

And as a formerly christened "Junior Diva" of Wagner College's Theatre Department, I understand the man's need for a more focused spotlight.
