"Do you know a Sara Franco?" I asked him. Sara had mentioned him when I first told her the name of the company I work for.
"Yeah!" he said; it turns out he's her neighbor! "I'm two or three houses away from the Francos."
"I've doorbell ditched in that area. . . ."
Dave laughed at that part, and after talking for another minute or so, I'd successfully built decent rapport with a big name in our sector of the company. I doubt it will do much beyond just that, but I've always been a firm believer in the philosophy that it's not what you know, but who you know.

Networking, eh? Good, good.... I just hope you don't have any mobsters in that network...no Falcones or anything. :-P
How is Sara, btw? I haven't heard from her in the longest time.
Eh, I've got a bit of everything in the network. It's pretty nice; if I ever need anything, I've always got someone to call. Even the bad ones are of service from time to time; those guys aren't always low-lives. 8-)
But yeah, Sara's good. Her Internet's still acting funky, I think, but I see her pretty often nowadays, and things are fine.
I figured it was an internet problem; it seemed to coincidental for the Franco siblings to both dissappear in February.
Say hi from me when you get the chance!
i love the francos. :D <3
They rock! Both Sara and Jared! And their cousins....
