Comments:  One thing I love about making this blog (scarcely as I've posted in it) is that I always find out some quite intriguing history behind my name de jour.  A French saint! St. Rocco!  What a spiffy gent he sounds to be.  Rocco is one of those male names that is so spunky yet dandy that it sets me into the type of mood for skipping down the sidewalk.  Rocco, Dexter, and friends.  4-3-2012
