Tonight we all met Long - and we all had a wonderful evening together.
Long is from Vietnam - Hanoi. He has been studying in Singapore for the last several years and so far is enjoying Macalester and his first few weeks in Minnesota - the snow is yet to come.
We already have a few interesting connections. We share the same birthday. He has a roommate from Rochester MN with a family name I have no doubt we grew up with his parents who lived up the hill.
He is intrigued by ice fishing - should be able to make that happen in February.
Again, it was great to get the Mac gang together and welcome our new friend to the family. And great the DQ could join us as well - a few hours off daddy duty. And Patty makes sure we all don't stray too far out there with all the conversations that can ensue when we all gather for the evening.
Missed Petar but will get him back in the routine after his adventures in the Netherlands this term.
Welcome aboard Long!
