Here I am. I am currently living in Dayton, Nevada (near Carson City/Lake Tahoe) with Kim, my beautiful girlfriend of over two years now and our two dogs. We moved up here from Vegas in June 2006 due to her job and we all love it. This place makes Vegas look like a dump. We have a nice home that lies in a valley between two mountain ranges. Granted, there's not as much to do here as far as nightlife goes, but there's so much more to do outdoors. - Chris
