1997, Point Counter point two the Sequel
CHRISTMAS LETTER 1997: Point & Counter Point Part Two
DONNA: They say the first year of marriage is the toughest. Well it's been over a year and we still argue. Or perhaps we should call it disagree or debate, because we agree to disagree and have some pretty good facts to debate. In fact, that is one of the things that attracted me to Chris, was his ability to have an intelligent opinion or at least an opinion and be able to argue it well. He will continue until you either agree or give up and pretend like you agree just to get him to stop riding you. Anyway, the biggest accomplishment I've made this past year is to put up with differences of opinion and manipulate him into admitting that I'm right and I'm always right.
CHRIS: Well the key word in her last sentence is manipulate. She does not manipulate me I manipulate her into thinking she manipulates me. Also they are not arguments they are "discussions". And she cannot pretend very well. For example, the "discussion" on whether or not we should have brats every night for dinner for the rest of eternity. I won this discussion because of my introduction of the fact that it contains all food groups and she said "okay, brats it is." I knew the next night that she was pretending because we had casserole and it wasn't brat casserole. She is not always right. I just let her think she is.
DONNA: I thought Chris said since we've been in Green Bay for 1 1/2 years he dreams about brats every night. Now that we live in our own house across from Copp's grocery store and a few blocks from Buddha's Sausage he can go get himself a brat every night. Except for Monday night, which is wrestling night. Of course, now that he saw the Roadside Warriors practicing their script in person, I'm surprised he continues to watch that entertainment. What he really oughta be doing is playing with our two dogs, Farley and Tori, more often like I do. I guess it's his loss if they love me more.
CHRIS: First off, it is the Road Warriors. Get it right. They are the greatest tag team of all time so they deserve your respect. As for the dogs, they do not love you more, what they are giving you is pity. Tori B. Flair (our newest dog) is named after Ric Flair as the ultimate sign of respect. As far as practicing scripts, I did not see anything. I was working hard to set up a live shot. The warriors recognized me as a local celebrity and they wanted a picture so please get off the wrestling is fake take. DONNA: They recognized you as a local celebrity? What have you done that anyone would recognize you from? Maybe people recognize you as Donna's husband because I'm known all over Wisconsin as a great Speech Therapist, pool shark, and president in training of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America Green Bay Chapter. At least I'm known in Sheboygan and Green Bay as a good speech therapist but I'm sure the word has gotten out. After I left St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan I looked at a couple jobs in Green Bay and decided on the best, in my opinion, nursing home/rehab center in Green Bay.
CHRIS: Yeah you are known world wide, you are right up there with...oh yeah there are no well known speech therapists. Onto more interesting subjects, ME. I am a local celebrity. Two words SIGN BOY. Gambler (hockey) fans know and love me as well as Don Beebe (a packer player) show fans. That cringing pain you are now experiencing is called jealousy. Please get over it. As I said to you at the Avalanche hockey game in Denver on our vacation(and it was a fabulous vacation), "People are naturally going to stare at me because I am an important person." To quote the man `Nature Boy' Ric Flair- "Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because it's the best thing going. WOOOOOOOOOOO!"
DONNA: Okay , Chris, you win. Brats every night.
CHRIS AND DONNA: For our friends and family far away and not so far away we welcome you to come and visit us at any time (then you can see for yourselves who really wins). We have extra beds, 2 stocked fridges, a hot tub, and plenty of entertainment in our basement. Until then, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and happiness in the new year and always remember keep your stick on the ice. No animals were harmed during the production of this letter. If by chance you received this letter late, it must be due to El Nino. GO PACK GO!!!
