What's in a name?

First a well known fact: On April 16th 2011 I will go from Amber Lucas to Amber Jack.
Less known fact: My new name is more than just a new name...it's also a fish.
Not just any fish but an Amberjack. You might ask yourself what is a Amberjack...well here ya go:

Amberjack: the name of 3 species of Atlantic fish of the Carangidae family, which includes the jacks and pompanos. They are found around Florida in natural or man-made reefs.
(thanks for Wikipedia)

Oh, you want some fun facts about Amberjacks? Glad you asked....

*There are two United States Navy submarines names USS Amberjack.
*Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (I'm sure they're great) have a song named "Amberjack."
*There is a off shore oil platform owned by Stone Energy named "Amberjack" in the Gulf of Mexico.
*They taste best grilled or broiled with lime-butter and seasoned salt. :)

I will leave you with a picture that is none other than a..........AMBERJACK!

Have a wonderful week!
