When thinking of a name for my Blog, I spent a lot of time, much like time wasted by bands trying to come up with the perfect name.... wasted time I will never regain.
While I was in high school, we spent hours coming up with the name "Total eclipse" for our band, and when we were introduced for the big senior variety show as "Totally blitzed"..time wasted, I will never get it back.
So I thought why waste more time, I asked my wife, hey what should I name my blog , she said Blypass, in 2 seconds, no wasted time.
The term Blypass, has been a long revered name in our house, that dates back to some time in the 80s and my brother Richard Bly.
One day years ago Richard dubbed the latest, "Questionable auto repair" my father, R.P. Bly Senior was proudly displaying as, a "Blypass", the name stuck.
My father has for years repaired cars much like the crew on Apollo 13 did to return to earth. I have seen artistry with bailing wire, JB weld, duct tape, vice grips. etc. As a mechanic he made a great intelligence officer for the DEA.
It has become a family legacy. I am sure my grandfather Pearl Bly who I never met, performed his share of blypasses in his day.
So I call this Blog Blypass.
Enjoy.
