Whats in a name?

=========================
Over one weekend, I was musing over a nice name for the team that would succintly describe my admiration for my cross country team. Ok...so they are not THE BEST yet...But as they say...THE BEST IS YET TO BE...and since Commonwealthians are champions in the making...the best can therefore be expected from each one of them.

So after googling for the fastest land creature on land...the list came up as follows:

Cheetah (at the top of the list) ...and Bingo...that just click.
I love cats and BIG CATS are Beautiful... graceful....fast.

Grace is also one of the quality I have observed in some of the CSSRunners as they ran....so that's just perfect for me...

Then...Wham...they don't like the name...Well actually, its just this one particular cheetah with an ATTITUDE. In fact, he was embarassed by it...

"What if...." He asked me quietly, "we win...R they going to call us CSS Cheetah?" I replied" Of course lah... Cheetah is Ok what?" Somewhat ruffled by his lack of enthusiasm.

Lucky for him, I am in control of my emotions. Else, he would have been shredded to pieces. [Secretly though, I am pleased with him. He has a winning streak and a winner's thoughts]

And Guess what? I'm waiting for this punk Kitty to graduate at end of 2009 so I can totally brainwash the other junior kitties into submission to accept their chosen names without question...just a thought....PURRRRR....




I like this cheetah picture. It shows grace, power, speed, focus...
