hu who?

If you will, please allow me yet another post based on extremely tenuous celebrity connections.

The wife attended a round table yesterday that featured some corporate big wigs as the facilitators. One of them related a story of when she was at corporate headquarters a little while ago and was en route to a meeting. At one point (I'm unclear as to whether this was in an elevator, during a pre-meeting discussion, or what) she notices a man standing beside her whom she had never met before. Wanting to be friendly, she turns, introduces herself, and asks, "What do you do with the company?" His response: "I'm...the president of China." It turns out she was speaking to the guest of honor at this big meeting she was about to attend. Whoops.

On an unrelated note, I'd like to express my pure joy over the fact that primary season is upon us. For whatever sick reason, I get more excited about elections than I do about Christmas. What with the primaries spread out as they are, it's like having a political advent calendar. I guess that means Super Tuesday is the big prize you get on Christmas Eve.
