It's hard for me because Chris is unhappy, and discontent, and complains a lot. Did you ever see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"? If you did, do you remember Marvin the Robot? He is so much like Chris that even Chris thinks it resembles him.
Some lines by Marvin that stick out in my mind: "Life. Loath it or ignore it, you can't enjoy it." "I'll do it, but I know I won't like it." "I have a brain the size of a planet, and you expect me to do that?"
I don't think I have ever heard Chris come home and tell me about something nice or funny that happened at work, nor remark on the sky, nor exclaim over a flower, or the moon, or a cloud, or anything like that. Always with the mordant, biting irony and sarcasm. It gets old after a while. |
