In case I forget...
Nov. 10th, 2004 04:54 pmI just got out of a meeting.
I handed my card to one of the representatives we were talking to and about 20 minutes into the meeting he looks up at me and says, "Are you Finnish?"
I blink at him for a moment and then nod, saying, "Yeah."
He responds with, "I thought so. There are lots of you where I'm from in Houghton."
I blink at him again and then say, "Houghton? My dad's from Pelkie..."
So... We had a bonding moment. It was really neat and especially neat to happen on my dad's birthday. It's strange but super cool to run into people like that.
