When Andy lived in Uganda, his nickname was ddumba. "Ddumba" is Lugandan and loosely translates into "drum." As he is a percussionist, he became quite attached to the nickname. His middle name is Steven, which creates Ddumba Andrew Steven, and this was the name he went by in Africa, which was ultimately shortened to "Das." After we got married, he started calling his family the "Das Bucks." Essentially, more like "D.a.s." She asked if we used it in the German sense. Nope. So I changed it here to better reflect what it means.
A few pictures tending to the Buck community garden tonight. Good night, all.
