Nephew could use some phin power

Post by MacPhin »

my sisters son, Andrew, will find out tomorrow ( Switzerland time ) if he has been selected to become one of 8 young explorers that will join mike horn on an environmental expedition to New Zealand. he was selected from hundreds of applicants from all over the world. the semi final "training" cut got down to 18. this has been taking place in switzerland over the past 11 days. we have been monitoring what the group has been up to day by day. it's a really cool project and Andrew is the only finalist from the u.s. the entire project is financed by corporations like Mercedes, mumm's ( champagne ) and orangina.

wish him well, he'll be devastated ( us too) if he doesn't make it.

GOOD LUCK ANDREW!! This is a great country and I know that if you get the opportunity to come here you will love it! I haven't been to the Fiordlands yet, but from everything I have heard they are breathtaking. Best of luck!

You got it.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

He made it!!!!

Andrew will be going to New Zeland in May on the 110' sailboat. He will miss his h.s. graduation, but I'm sure he's not too upset about that.

Thank you everyone for the appreciated phin power!!
