Alex and Chrisanne: Their Earthquake Story

A relationship in microcosm.

I was racing around the house like the Road Runner.

“€œHide between the coffee table and the couch, Meep Meep! Hide between the coffee table and the couch, Meep Meep!”

I tend to panic in life threatening situations.

In my defense, this was a quote from a letter we received only months ago from my Aunt and Uncle who live in Huntington Beach on “€œHow To Survive An Earthquake And Not Die”€. Chrisanne, of course, not only read this thing from top to bottom, but since that day has packed the trunk of the car with supplies: water, canteens, sleeping bags, blankets, tool kits, and if I’m not mistaken, a mechanic named Tony. We’€™re not only set for an earthquake, we’€™re set for a trip to the Himalayas.
