Mine comes from about 30 years ago as a decathlete (Deca). I used to train with decathletes Robert Baker, Jim Jones, and Keith Stewart at West Texas State U. We had daily training routines (as most do)... One of the sayings used was "Rag-Out", which translated simply means good luck and get going.
So "Rag-Out" stuck and I just used part of it with decathlon - thus "DecaRag".
Sounds like a dance name...
Ask me later for the "Decathlon Creed" - it's an original.

I had the name on my plates when I lived in Houstonville.
Big Oops. I thought I was on a board where I go by "ladude."
The story for this one is simple, too. I'm a vaulter who is an M.D. and some of my pole vault activities are those of an M.D., such as when I participate in various committees.
