I'm 5'-4" on a good day. The Lord of the Rings was popular at the time, and once day he started calling me a midget, or a leprechaun, or a Hobbit. Like Frodo. But since everyone called me by my last name (Brady), Brodo instead of Frodo. And thus, BrodoNY0123
Love the Brodo story!!!

And I'm pretty sure I could pronounce Swerbinsky. I smell some Eastern European ancestors there. Your husband's, I suppose (it is your married name, isn't it). :-)
