Shel: Who are we? We're Chris and Shel, the world's most nauseating married couple. Yes, we really do like each other THAT MUCH.
Chris: We love each other too.
Shel is an easygoing Texas transplant who is slowly getting acclimated to Midwest winters. Chris is a South-side Chicago boy who takes pessimism to the next level. If it sounds like a match made in Hades, well, for some unknown reason it "just works".
Chris: We love each other too.
Shel: One night we were doing our usual thing about thinking and saying the same thing at the same time when it occurred to us that a blog with some of our conversations would probably be highly entertaining...
Chris: ...well, we're only nauseating part of the time. The part when other people are around. The truth is we disagree on things--we're not that abnormal--but we make things work better than many people we know. Also, we love each other. We get along so well that we're beyond finishing each other's sentences, we can each pick up on the other's thoughts. Usually.
