Cast of Characters

I want to do my best to keep this blog anonymous, so I will probably refer to most people simply by a letter. So, without further ado, here are the cast of characters.

I am an attorney, an associate with a firm specializing in civil litigation. I am also a guitarist, a weightlifter, and a rabid Michigan football fan.

S is my wife. We started dating in high school while I was a senior and she a junior. We went to college together, and were at the same University for graduate school. We have been happily married since the fall of 2003. S is a professional who works with children, and has significant knowledge of child development and child psychology. She is also a wonderful cook who seriously considered becoming a chef. She would have been a great one.

We have twin sons, M and J. They were born near the end of 2006, so they are a little more than two at the time I write this. They are fraternal - very fraternal. While my wife thinks they look like brothers, I am not sure I would think that they were related if I didn't know better. Their personalities are also very different. We like that a great deal because we really want them to be seen as M and J, the individuals, and not so often "the twins."

We also have a third son, who I will call 3 for the moment, due this summer. We are very excited, and so far, both S and 3 are very healthy and doing well.
