Names changed to protect the guilty: Izzy--our intrepid heroine. If you don't know her by now . . . Shig--Izzy's devoted fiance and True Love. A kind, wise man of teddy-bearish physique. Has a delightful warm chuckle, which he uses a *lot*, usually in his eyes those rare moments when he is not laughing out loud. Instantly beloved of even the most timid animals and small children, he inspires wariness in most adults due to his wild black hair, beard, heavy-browed pug-nosed Irish face, and generally unconventional appearance. More likely to listen than to speak, unless a truly horrible pun is in the offing. Quintessential geek--computers, comic books, role playing games . . . Works for the state as a graphic designer for educational brochures. Tends to be amused rather than threatened by Izzy's adventures past and present, as with most things. Situation: Traveling to San Francisco to join a dozen of their closest friends to witness the marriage of a decade. More to come. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon Moskowitz slmoskow@mailer.fsu.edu http://mailer.fsu.edu/~slmoskow is not out-of-date, but merely irrelevant.
