Great relief today upon learning the popularity of my name has finally started to decline. It was quite uncommon in the mid-seventies (I'm named after an obscure 'rock & roll western' starring Don Johnson. I rented it several years back... really terrible.), but by the time I hit twenty, America was filling with a great horde of preteen Zachs. Whenever I passed a playground, I'd hear a dozen young mothers calling out to me. Now, at last, we're in decline, and I can start to feel special again.
