Who's who: a primer.

I think a brief summary is in order of people who will likely be mentioned with some frequency in this blog. Here they are:

Sarah - My lovely wife. We were married June 16, 2001, if anyone ever feels like sending flowers.

Elizabeth aka "The Bug" - Our daughter, born in 2004. The prettiest little girl ever.

Alex - Our son, born in 2005. The cutest little guy ever.

Lane - A friend. My roommate in college.

Sarah S. - Lane's wife. If I omit the "S.", the context should tell you whose wife I'm referring to.

Kai - Lane and Sarah's baby boy.

Matt - A friend of ours, he's pretty much responsible for our current boardgaming habits. He's actually Lane's best friend since childhood, but after college he moved into an apartment about 5 minutes away from me.

Steve - My brother, Matt. The nickname is to differentiate the Matts, and originally came from the movie, Multiplicity.

Becca - My brother's wife. (Note that "Matt and Becca" refers to 'Steve' and Becca -- context clues, people!)

Tara - A friend. My wife's roommate in college.

Anita - A friend from college. Tara's current roommate.

Sam - My sister, Samantha.
