Janet
Dahl
Steve's wife and better angel
Janet Dahl comes to us all the way from Royal Oak, Michigan.
In Royal Oak she grew up with five siblings in a rather quaint
and very Catholic household. She attended college at Central
Michigan University, which was surrounded by cornfields
and within napalm distance of Dow Chemical. It was as Catholic
as a public university can be.
Here she received her teaching certificate and later became
an English/Drama teacher at a high school near her home town.
Janet dated as a hobby until she was almost a spinster. She met
Steve through friends, and was dating a mutual friend. Steves
friend left town and asked Steve to watch over her. The aroma
of a gallon of Hai Karate persuaded Janet that she needed Steve
in her life permanently, if only to cure him of cologne excess.
Steves boyish charm persuaded her to leave her law school,
abandon her job, sell her condo and move to Bolingbrook, Illinois
while he attempted to convert Chicago to his radio verite style
on WDAI. Four months later Steve was fired, but Janet and Steve
have been Chicagoans ever since.
Eventually, she returned to law school, got pregnant, passed
the bar, got pregnant, got pregnant and settled into the idyllic
suburban life that only a Stever could provide. Her license to
practice is current, and to date, none of the boys (now 21, 19,
and 17) have needed her professional services. The same can be
said of her husband, though it is a bit more astounding.
Currently, she is rehabilitating their home after 15 years of
youthful abuse. She is attempting to train a puppy, and has given
up the possibility of domestic excellence.
