Tu Dou

As some of you have heard I have essentially been given a Chinese name. The name is Tu Dou which means "potato." This was given to me because I love the potatoes here, the way they are cooked in oil and soy sauce and mixed with various meats and vegetables. The other reason is that my colleagues say I am fat like a potato! The reality is that most of them have never experienced Americans in real life and would be shocked by how big many of them are.

I've happily embraced the name and even some of our factories know me by Tu Dou now because for them it is easier to say than Nolan.
