Chris graduated from UW-River Falls in 1993 with a BA in blah blah blah. Let's get to the good stuff, shall we?
How did Chris ever find a woman? Well, after many years of thinking I would be alone forever, Al Gore invented this thing called the Interweb. Yes, I met my wife Sally on the Internet in '98, on one of those dating services where the men outnumber the women 20 to 1. Fortunately, I could spell and used punctuation, so she picked me. After we both surmised neither of us was a 57-year-old male living in a basement surrounded by empty pizza boxes, we quickly realized we were made for each other. We were married in '99 and had two beautiful girls a few years later. Faith is 5 and Annelise is 2.
I have been employed by Marsden Building Maintenance for 17 years. My current title is Assistant Operations Manager. It is not exactly what I would call fulfilling or lucrative, and am currently working on blowing this pop stand. On the bright side, I come into contact with a wide variety of interesting people from many cultures. Did you know that you cannot communicate with foreigners simply by speaking English loudly? Yeah, that surprised me too.
Here are a few things about me that might shock you.
1) I cannot beat my daughter at Chutes 'n' Ladders. I've given nary a thought to the glory days when I was Champion for almost 20 years. Then you people started throwing e-mails around and the memories came flooding back. There are a few haters up in here who shall remain nameless and who want to call my legacy into question, and I figured I better brush up on my skills. Unfortunately, just like Icarus who flew too close to the sun, I would get oh so close to the finish and hit the dreaded #87 and come crashing down to #24. Cursed cookie jar!
2) The guy who was once obsessed with really naughty heavy metal groups like Slayer and Megadeth now leads the Middle School youth group at his church--not WELS and *gasp* not even Lutheran. We are with the Covenant denomination, which is like Lutheran, but more funky like Baptists.
That's all I can think of for now.
