Twice in Two Days

Twice in two days now I have been asked about my last name after showing someone my gym card or credit card.  The fellow at the gym shares my last name except his is hyphenated with another name.  He has family near Urbank, MN so we must be related.  Once we figured that out I extended my hand and said, "Nice to meet you cousin."  Last night at a Thai restaurant in NE Minneapolis, our charming waiter asked if I was related to Andra Suchy.  I really don't know. Maybe I am.  I believe she is from North Dakota.
