Kim’s parents have arrived with their friends Warren and Marian. IT is good to see them again and surprisingly not all that strange to be seeing them in Austria. We are heading to Salzburg with them today. See you in a few.

Well I am running a little low on sleep. Was up to midnight last night with the student’s then woke up at 3:00 and drove 5 hours to a speaking engagement with HP (Director of Tauernhof) then 5 hours back, then church, followed by outreach meetings, a phone call, and a quick post to you guys.

Oh … and I drove through the largest tunnel I have ever bin in, which went under a mountain and was about 2km in length. Then I drove on an autobahn again and let’s just say there weren’t to many people passing me if you know what I’m sayin’.

All in all a good time, lots of bonding time with HP, and now I am hitting the sack.

Last night we played Fear Factor with the students. Very entertaining. I will see if I can get some pics, but other wise your imaginations are probably good enough. First they had to swing through the leftover food in the pig bucket. The fastest times then had to bob for cow eye’s like bobbing for apples and followed by which eat sardines and snails. The fastest time then had to race across two ropes suspended between trees. The fastest time then won a Tauernhof hoodie. Maybe one day they can win teeuwsen.com hoodies if it ever comes together. Oh what a prize that would be. 🙂

As I mentioned before this is the first year that Upward Bound hasn’t filled up almost instantly. There are still about 10 spaces left. I have put up some Upward Bound Pics from last year for you to have a look at. If you want to go just get in touch with Tauernhof or you can send me an email and I will point you in the right direction.

When we were at Tauernhof 5 years ago we made a bunch of friends and one of them was Mark Bromley. Check out the site for his band starewell and have a listen to one of their songs Princess Blue.

Whoever says Edmonton is boring sure wasn’t at Red Robin on Saturday night…

So there we (DJ, Jeaninne, Sarah, Tracy and myself) are at Red Robin, and as always after dinner we headed the Red Robin arcade. This is always one of the highlights of going to Red Robin. How can you go wrong with a 25 cent arcade games. We were having a great time, DJ and I got some high scores on the really old Sega Race car game, and the girls were having a great time with Ms. Pac-man. Then the girls noticed this quite intoxicated guy in the foyer of the restaurant cruisin’ around with his hand down his pants. I think they thought he had to go to the bathroom or something, very odd at any rate. What also is strange is that he has his bike in the restaurant, he wasn’t riding it, just brought it in and put the kickstand up and it was just sitting there, strange. So we are playing our games, when crazy drunk guy comes into the little arcade room, and starts watching Jeaninne play Ms. Pac-man. He makes some comments, probably to the effect of “Ms. Pac-man eh, that game is really old.” Jeaninne ignores him, finishes her game and moves away while this guy starts to play. Somewhere in the middle of it he drops a cigarette on the floor and starts yelling, “Pick up my f’n cigarette.” No one wants to do this and well we are all a little uncomfortable at this point, but it all seems harmless, guy is just a little drunk. So the girls leave the arcade, and I finish up my game and DJ and I go and join them. At this point they must have been getting a little bit tired, or crazy, because they started talking about stealing his bike. Would probably have been funny as he probably wouldn’t be able to figure out what was going on, plus he was quite mean to them, but a little scary as you never know how drunk people are going to react sometime. So, we leave and are standing between the doors when we see some police officers around the corner waving at us to get out. They tell us to get out of the way and go and wait by there car. Minutes later they have there guns drawn, and are entering multiple exits at the same time. Now this is getting kinda of exciting, what is going on. The suspense is killing me…. well apparently the guy had told someone that he had a gun, I guess that is why his hand was down his pants. Now nothing very exciting happened after that, the cops took him out in handcuffs and we went home. But it coulda been a lot different. We never did find out if he had a gun, but I don’t think he did. And what if he did, and what if the girls took his bike, or he got really mad because we didn’t pick up his cigarette….. Or what if the girls took his bike and walked out the door to where the police were…..

Well at any rate, it made the night a little more interesting. The night was capped off with a little SNL and the movie “Grind”, what better way to spend a evening, eh.
