Here are the short biographies....

Tim will continue to shock and amaze me.
Jim B. will never understand quite what I mean by it.
Gerrit is too fond of my feet to be my grandfather.
Mark L. will always have his name spelled incorrectly. By me. Even when I copy it from something he has written.
Dan is a fine, upstanding lad. Don't let him fool you.
Chris used to have long hair and wrote jazz-inspired poems.
Aaron can rock out, fer sure.
Nick is a mystery to me, but from his choice of blogs I can tell he's a hottie.
Christina is so much better with words than the letters after her name would lead Helen Vendler to guess.
Ed makes me want to run away to Ireland and spend my days making scones and drinking whiskey.
