Chris now has a kid I don't remember her name, but when we were in school together no one thought he could do that. Its not he was voted least likely to have a kid, or anyone said that specifically but just he wasn't destined for greatness or fatherhood or...

Back on that improv, been away for awhile. I know improve comedy is kind of lame.  But it has something very theoretically beautiful to it. Similar to Jazz but more approachable. Could be a less cool jazz. The acapella version of standup comedy.
