Also: one of my favorite memories from a week in Helsinki is being greeted each morning in the hotel cafe with a fortifying shot of sea buckthorn juice.
Congratulations on your one-year anniversary, Wil. As someone who has long dreamed of visiting Scandinavia but have not yet been (Italy always seems to get in the way!), I enjoy learning about it through your (non-Finnish) eyes.
Happy Anniversary, One-Elled Wil. May you weather many more.
Sea buckthorn, eh? The lady behind the cash register at my local Russian grocery insisted I try a small bottle of its juice. The flavor was...surprising. Since I do not suffer from eczema or pronounced wrinkling, I don't see the need of it. Please convince me otherwise.

I love this piece! You demonstrated they were right to hire you by writing this one so it would make us laugh.
