What do Sarah Palin & Kyle Patterson Have in Common?

Kyle Patterson is a techie - Strappity-Do-Da's in-house techie - affectionately known as "toodles". To know him is to love him. Fatally funny, wicked smart, and a genuine good guy, Kyle is a Tower of Testosterone in a High-Octane Estrogen Environment.

So, what do Kyle Patterson and Sarah Palin have in common besides the initial letter "P" in their surnames?

Gender? no
Political Agenda? don't know
Controversy? uh-oh
Ties to Law Enforcement? whoa!

The Answer: they're both in Alaska this summer. While Governor Palin whiles away the hours in Wasilla and juries in Juneau - our Darling Toodles is risking life and limbs to boost the Alaskan economy, to put a salmon teriyaki in every grill, and to pay for (his own) higher education.

That's right - our very own Toodles rejected a prestigious summer internship (paying minimum wage) in favor of one of the deadliest jobs in the world. He's our Hero, our epic Swashbuckler (whether or not he knows it) - but that's not why he does it. He takes on the danger and the detritus of working on an Alaskan fishing boat to advance - his education and his hard-earned right to a handsome paycheck doing what he loves.

High heels and beauty pageants are hard work, ok. Toodles - we love ya & can't wait to see you back on the Mainland intact!
