You have a message from Peter McConaughey wishing you a happy and highly POV holiday.

Peter McConaughey was born in Plano, Texas on 07 September, sometime between the years 1961 and 1980. He grew up in a tract house adjacent to the Los Rios country club and golf course, which was also known as the "Stinky 18" because of the odoriferous nearby sewage treatment plant. Although he was within the boundaries of Plano East Senior High School, Peter attended Plano because of its superior football program.

Lineage
Peter's parents, Luca and Sophie McConaughey moved to the United States from Dresden, by way of Dublin, after both of their fathers and Luca's mother were killed in the war. 18 year old Luca and 17 year old Sophie made their way across Europe in 1945 by trading artwork that had belonged to both families for food and passage. In Dublin, the couple stayed with Luca's paternal grandparents until they raised enough money for passage to the United States. By 1947, Luca had regular work as a mucker in the Fort Worth Stockyards.

The McConaughey Empire
In the hot summer of '48, Luca noticed that cold Coca-cola was a valuable commodity at the stockyards. He asked his employer for lease of a small corner in the entrance hall to place a vending machine. Luca and Sophie found that their vending machine made more money in one day than Luca made mucking stalls all week. The couple put their plans for marriage and a family on hold to save every cent for placing vending machines all over the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. By the time Peter's oldest sister, Leonie, was born in 1957, the McConaughey Empire spread all the way from the west Texas town of Odessa to Longview, near the Louisiana border.

Peter's two other siblings, Maximilian and Tim, were born in 1958 and 1960. After school, the three boys helped their father work on broken machines in his workshop. Luca was willing to delegate all other areas of the vending business to his wife and associates, but the job of repair and upgrades he kept for himself. His frugal ways led the McConaughey children to joke that Luca kept his machines in the latest fashion but made his offspring shop at the discount stores. Eventually, all three of Peter's siblings earned law degrees from Harvard University, but Peter seemed to have inherited his father's tinkering gene.

Inventor career
After graduating from High School, Peter began his career as an inventor. He expanded his father's workshop to include computerized modeling and plastic prototyping machines. In less than two years, Peter's new vending appearance and functionality had already started translating into greater revenue per location. Then he met Karen Diane.

Cult following
K.D. was the most pure and gracious creature that Peter had experienced. She was also a Mormon. Peter took considerable time away from his work and his parents over the next two years to woo Karen Diane, which included learning her religious ways and becoming "temple worthy." On his twenty-third birthday, Peter knelt at the temple alter across from his soul mate in a room with parallel mirrors on each side to pledge his commitment to her for all eternity. Karen Diane expressed her desire to speak to him alone for a minute and asked why he had become Mormon. Peter looked into her eyes and said that he had done it for her. K.D. took off her engagement ring and pressed it into Peter's hand telling him that she needed someone who believed enough to wield the priesthood when their children got sick or when their family needed special blessings. Then she turned and left the temple and Peter's life.

Surfer career
Although Peter McConaughey never became a top contender in surfing, the spiritual high that he achieves when he interacts with the power of nature in locations all over the planet sustains and fortifies him. Peter's father, Luca, sold the family business, but keeps his workshop up to date and helps Peter design new surfboard innovations. The two are currently working on a revolutionary device that will bestow to land-surfing the discarnate sensations of the ocean.
