Who’s Who

Here’s a list of the people who have commented on LloydandLauren and how they fit into our great infrastructure. If you feel your description is not accurate, send me twenty dollars. Don’t see your name here? Comment, already! (Gimme a while to finish the list, eh? If you know when your first comment was, that would really help me out.)

• Brad – first comment, October 16, 2006. Brad is our good friend from (Lloyd) high school and (Lauren) college days. He is often referred to as ‘our spouse’ because when he’s here we all do everything together. Visits every summer, tends our garden, and teaches middle school religion in Baltimore.
