Kim, I've only spoken to you briefly, but you seem like one of the best mentors I've ever met. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Karthik We were a little worried we were overlooked as rookies, but went into shock hearing our name called by the first seed Our drivers are truely amazing(especially considering they are both freshmen!), our human player is super fast and focused, and our coaches really do not play like rookies anymore! It was definitely worth the wait to hear our names! Plus in many ways it was nice to finally not have the stress of having to select!! lol.

And thanks for the kind words, its easy to be a great mentor, when I had great mentors to follow. Engineer Dave (of 176) finally won the woodie flowers award this year, and he and the mentors of 176 inspired me. Plus I had some practice on 229 They have truely come a long way since I started there. And my kids have so much energy and excitement that they make the job easy.

I didnt realize there was a thanks thread(in my haze of sleepiness!), and posted the rest of my thanks here
