Take it as you will. The nickname “Pooka” was given to me many years ago (perhaps because of my playful and friendly manner) and is now used by all my friends and family.
So as a potential friend (I assume you would like to be my friend if you are taking the time to read all this crap), you may call me Pooka as well. Pleasure to meet you!
