The Grand prize winner…Batman!

Some of you may remember that Kyle won the ultimate super-spectacular grand prize from the Create Your Own NGO contest, which was a personal visit from yours truly. Besides the big winner, Kyle is also my brother who graduated with PhD while I was in Cambodia. I missed his graduation party, but sent this slide show message.

Anyhow, I spent 5-days with Kyle on his new home, the island of Galveston, Texas, which Kyle, now after having his bike stolen, affectionately calls Galvatraz.

Galveston is a strange place. In places it’s Key West, in others it’s the hood. We rode bikes around, tossed the football on the beach, sweated our butts off, and ate lots of good food, including apple pie ice cream. It’s about time someone came up with this flavor.

Kyle bought a new bike, a green hooptie named Moon Dog, but could be referred to as the Green Machine, the Green Hornet, or Green McGreeny Greenerson – it’s that green; it’s that sweet. I’ll post a pic of Kyle on his new bike when he sends me one. Until then I’ll post the photo below that I like to call “Limp Batman.”
