A dam86: Hey, Elizabeth77 . Or do you go by Liz? Lizzie? Maybe Eliza? Beth? Betty? Liza? Lizbet? I think I remember my sister reading a book with a heroine named Lizbet.

Elizabeth77: Wow. That’s a lot of nicknames you came up with for Elizabeth.

Adam86: What can I say, I’m a sucker for nicknames.

Elizabeth77: Elizabeth works.

Adam86: *buries head in the sand* Well, Elizabeth, it’s nice to meet you. Your profile says you like going for walks. Where’s the most scenic one you’ve taken?

Elizabeth77: Oh, that’s a tough question. If I had to pick, it would be anywhere in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Especially in the fall.

Adam86: I’ve never been.

Elizabeth77: Really? Your profile says you’ve lived in Boston for five years. City boy, are you?

Adam86: I’m a chameleon. I love the city and exploring the architecture and new restaurants, but the quiet of the mountains sounds perfect too. Honestly, I don’t spend as much time with Mama Nature as I should.

Elizabeth77: Mama Nature? I’m not sure how she’d feel about being called that.

Adam86: So Big Mama is out? Mama N? Nature Mommy?

Elizabeth77: You weren’t kidding about the nicknames.

Adam86: Give me some time and I’ll have the perfect one for you.

Elizabeth77: Well, fair’s fair. I’ll be coming up with one for you too.

Adam86: Looking forward to it.
