Happy Birthday, Chris

It’s still May 3rd on the west coast, so this doesn’t count as belated. My big brother turned 32 today. Yes, his name is Chris and my name is Christy. Don’t ask. Chris has always loved video games, and was very good at them. Me? Not so much. I’m not sure I ever made it past Level 1 in the …
