Wilderness Walk: Elimination Game Edition

In a bit of randomness yesterday, I was taking my daughter out for ice cream after the Regional Science Fair and I ran into Mike Yeo's son. It was funny because one of his friends noticed I was wearing my Wild hat and asked if I knew Mike Yeo. Because the question was one I wasn't expecting I said "No, not personally but I know of him." This kid--probably thinking I was on drugs by that point--points over to a group of his friends and says "Well, that guy in the black jacket is his son."

I simply nodded at him and said I hope the Wild win tomorrow. So I got to experience all the awkwardness and weird introductions of high school kids all over again!

Just to switch gears a little bit I would like to ask that you keep the people of Nepal in your thoughts. As you may have heard a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Kathmandu, Nepal and it is estimated that some 1,800 people were killed. This death toll is expected to continue to rise in the coming days. I personally have a friend who was married there four days ago. He and his new bride are safe but currently everybody is out in the streets because people are afraid to enter buildings due to the aftershocks of the earthquake.
