Did you read my story “The cards don’t lie”?

Yes and it’s true, the cards don’t lie. So terrible that Connie passed and you never had the time to tell her she was a related. I apologize, sometimes I don’t comment. Reading this and hearing about ancestry.com just reminded me that I’m waiting for my DNA results. It’s a long story why I wanted to do this but of upmost importance to me. May your day be blessed with love and light…

Cool read. My friend is Finnish. We met in the 80s when she was sent to the Southern US as an exchange student, poor thing. This piece reminds me of her. I've traveled, but never to Finland. Your piece captures the way my friend talks about it. She recently moved back to Finland from London and seems relieved.

I’ve only been once but will definitely go again. I felt “home”there.

Thank you, Vince, for sharing such amazing visuals with us. You know how pleasurable it can be with a glass of wine and your thoughts. Run away with your imagination!

I call this practice sweat pants panty piñata or a la slouch’s lazy boy/girl legs and a couch potato 🥔 football to kick back to one another with a lime squeeze in a 22 ounce Corona beer in a bottle looking for the remote control to mute advertising in between plays.
