I should be hanging out with some Finnish collaborators this week, but I skipped the meeting. I always think about N_R when I am around them.
Do shorts count? Cause my fat ass can wear shorts in the winter time.

Yes, just do whatever the opposite of “going commando” is where you wear underwear but no pants.

I kind of do, but some of the back and forth with him over it was fun. I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee hoping it doesn't start tasting like piss since that was one of his threats to me at one point.
I didn't think he took it seriously. I thought it was all in good fun.
At the risk of scarring my 3 and 7 year old for life (as well as making my wife cringe), I could be on board with this.
Work, however, might frown on my Finnish sensibilities, so I will have to forego taking this to it's complete fulfillment.

Oh please you couldn't handle it when I shared it last time.
Does anyone keep in touch with his parents at all? Maybe we could let them know we still think about him and hope they're doing well.
I wasn't thinking so much for me as I didn't really know him that well, but there might be others that would want to send thoughts along.

If you are interested, I sent the following card:
If you like, there's a place called Postable where you can send physical cards by filling them out online. If you are interested, send me a PM and I'll give you their address. It costs about $5 to send a card from the US to Finland.
I'm using this clever new website called Postable to send my holiday cards for me this year. If you wanna try it, sign up & use my coupon code MRK9ESSGC3 and you’ll get $5 off any order over $20 (and I’ll get $5 in credit too). Thanks!

Is that what that was? Please send it again but enlarge it. It was too small to see the first time.
There's a pair of the inflatable wonder sauna hot pants on eBay right now. One way or another it needs to be bought and then destroyed in his name.
He asks the man with two dozen children.
No. I have an electric steam generator and several ideas, and I spent dozens of hours last year learning about them and their importance to the Finnish culture, but I haven’t even started the planning stage. I did learn enough to find out that the steam generator would miss several aspects probably important to Mikko, but I’m thinking I should discuss with his parents what his favorite sauna was like and what he found important before starting.

I don't have one to pour out for the big guy today.
It's been 4 years. For us, the pain has lessened and has been replaced by the fond memories and jokes that inevitably help up deal with loss. I'm not a believer in any afterlife but in the case I'm wrong, I hope the big guy is in that big sauna in the sky.
Miss you, buddy.
