'I GUESS IT'S A GUY THING'

I started reading the article "Miracle on the Mountain" (January/February 2011 issue, cover story), and couldn't put it down. Mike and Matthew Couillard went through an icy hell. The part about Mike not wanting to admit he was lost rang true with me. I guess it's a guy thing -- always too proud to ever cop to the humiliation of being lost. Maybe that's where they got the phrase "dying of embarrassment." Anyway, after that initial mistake, I like how their will to survive kicked in ... although, I still can't imagine leaving my kid behind, alone and unprotected. But then again, I've never been in a situation like that. It makes you think how you might handle it.
