I'm sure you've heard him say "don't get out ahead of our skis." Well I'm now hearing that metaphor used elsewhere. I had never heard it before Avenatti became prominent.

What does your screen name mean? My sister has a beautiful Swiss Mountain Dog Puppy (just turned 1 year old) and her name is Roxie. Is your screen name you or a pet?
