On September 13th, 1980, at 10:08 p.m., Christopher Keith Moore was born to Leah Carol Moore and Terry Keith Moore.  I think I weighed 7 lbs., 8 oz., but I'm not totally sure.  I was born in Plano, TX, where you will read I did most of my growing up.  My mom said that I came out really blue-looking, and that my face was kind of squished.  She said I looked like an old smurf.  Anyway, I don't remember anything from this time period of my life, and my mother isn't on hand to recall any stories, so I'll move on a couple years.

I was nearly 2 years old when my sister, Shelley Marie Moore, was born.  The date was June 7th, 1982.  She was also born at Plano General Hospital.  My mom said that I would be really loving to her; kiss her forehead and rub her back nicely, but then I would realize that I was actually jealous of the attention she was getting, and I would immediately proceed to kick her.  That was just the start of many years of picking on her that were to come.

Vanessa Cooke was our next door neighbor at our first house in Plano.  She was a year older than me, and my first crush.  My mom said I followed her everywhere, and wanted to do everything she did.  Can you blame me?  Look at that blonde bombshell!  I lost touch with her over the years, but I hear she's doing very well. 

I loved playing with my mom and dad as a kid, especially with Matchbox cars and blocks.  I didn't crash them into each other like most kids; I would spin the wheels and try to figure out how they worked.  My mom once took me to the store and she was teaching me animals.  I was naming some when a really fat lady walked by.  I just happened to say "hippopotamus" as she passed.  My mom then tried to cover it up by saying "giraffe, tiger" etc... but the damage had already been done.

We moved into our 2nd house in Plano in 1985.  I made friends with the Strengers.  We used to vacation every year at the beach in Port Aransas, TX.  We stayed at the Sun Tan Motel, and I have a lot of great memories of that place.  I once caught a dog fish and it made a barking noise at me off the pier next to our motel.
