My son does not write reviews. He is not big on writing. But, he sure loves the Viewpoints t-shirt that I got at the VP launch party in Chicago. In fact, he was wearing the shirt when he was carrying grills, gear, and a watermelon down to a party next to the river.

It was a beautiful day, but the river was way up. It's usually about knee deep but was like an ocean with muddy waves churning.

Another teen got caught in the current, and Eli went in and got the other boy out of the river. The current took them down the river, so I did not know if my kid or the other kid even made it out. I was up the hill grilling, and the message I got was, "Eli went in the river. They can't find him."

Under those circumstances, I can't tell you how much time passed. I was in shock but just praying. It was probably about a half hour when I flat didn't know one way or the other.

Eli did save the other kid. They are both fine. If you Google Bull Hole and Eli, you will probably find the stories. He made the papers.

I wanted to share that, and I'll send a picture of Eli in his VP shirt which I was thinking could be the last shot I'd ever have of my kid.
