It occurred to me that it might be helpful to list the important people in my life who will have recurring roles here. This will avoid clunky sentence structure like: "my husband, Ben" or "Lucie, our toy poodle" all the time. I expect I may have to make additions as we go along, but I hope to make no deletions. Refer to this as needed.
Ben - my husband of more than 30 years
Tom - my son, who lives and works in Chicago
Kristy - my daughter-in-law, who also lives and works in Chicago
Julie/Jules - my daughter, who lives in Maryland, and is pursuing her PhD at the University of Delaware in Newark
Andrew - her fiance, who also lives in Maryland, and is pursuing his PhD at the University of Maryland in College Park
Lucie - our apricot toy poodle, who technically belongs to Julie, but will always live with us
Rufus - our black cockapoo, and the newest member of the family
Dominic/Bobo - our bichon frise, who died in November of 2005, but it just seems wrong to leave him out, as he is always in my heart

This is a useful idea. I just sort of leave people grasping for context in my (very) occasional posts to my blog ;)
"will always live with us," huh? :) at least i get partial credit for her being my dog!
and i'm glad bobo's included.
I'm glad he's included too; I actually was going to suggest that this morning but it seemed like picking nits.
Still miss him.
Oh and quite a bunch of characters they are - Ha cha cha cha!
Seems like I saw your name on that list, miss! ;)
