 This is one of my favorite ways
of getting to know everyone
here. I think you’ll find it both
entertaining and invigorating.
 First, you’re going to break into
groups of two. It’s better if you
find someone you don’t already
know much about, but it’s OK if
you feel more comfortable with
someone you know.
 Your job is to find out a few
things about each other. You
might want to take notes, and
be sure to keep it brief and
interesting.
