Devilish Deeds of an Absentminded, Lovable Lout

Chris Slatsky grew up in the suburbs of Birmingham, Alabama, in the late 1960s in a small community named Minor.

As a little boy, he ran as fast as his little legs will carry him, finding adventure everywhere. He tried to be a mini-version of his father, mimicking his every action and sticking up for his family's Catholic beliefs.

In high school, he enjoyed wrestling, even though he hardly ever won a match. He hung out with his two best friends, Jed and Jay, and they spent countless days playing pranks and getting in trouble.

Before entering graduate school, he met a woman with strawberry blonde hair in church. He learned her name is Sandy and asked her to go to the zoo with him; more than twenty years later, they are still together.

Since the day they met, she has relished his folly, and to this day, they playfully engage in flirty competitions for supremacy. But you'll have to read Devilish Deeds of an Absentminded, Lovable Lout to discover who's currently on top in their ongoing competition.
