Fun story Russell! Once I got a fortune 🥠 cookie with 13 messages within. I showed it to my Chinese speaking waiter and he responded (in thick English) “Holy Crap “!

What a great story. I’ll never forget the first time we took our identical twins out for Chinese food. They got the same fortune! What are the odds of that?? And, it was probably written by you! As a side note, we just saw Paula Poundstone live and she is still hilarious 😆

I thought maybe I saw traces of resemblance to Wilbur and Wayne in the photo? Handsome young fellow -- and intriguing story.

That's the first time I've heard that, actually. :) I look a lot like my dad, but I'm sure there are some Anderson traits
