No longer protecting the innocent

HG suggested that referring to my boyfriend as "Boyfriend" made him sound replaceable, and asked if we might not assign him a name. An anonymous commenter added that calling him Boyfriend seemed like something Hillary Duff would do. I know that Hillary Duff is an actress, but I'm unfamiliar with her work. I'll assume it wasn't a compliment.

Boyfriend is a lawyer with his own firm here in town. Not a huge firm, but they do a fair bit of business and I decided early to keep him anonymous. He's a reader of the blog (hey baby!) and assures me that using his first name is fine.

So the secret's out. I'm not hiding Anderson Cooper, but I do have my own personal silver fox. His name is Brett.
