My name is Monk.
It is short for a much longer name I was given at birth, and one which people had a hard time pronouncing.
I started using it when I was about ten years old, for my friends up North, when they were having trouble saying my full name.
Until the TV show came out with the detective, people always looked at me funny as I was trying to describe a thing or to talk about a topic I was interested in . After the TV show came out, which I only saw once or twice, people didn’t give me any more trouble – they said
“Oh, you’re just like Monk on TV!’
Whatever that means….
So, thank you Monk for making my life easier!
So what will follow will be a series of posts regarding topics that interest me, and are useful – things that will hopefully be helpful to you too.
