Alice this means you! Just kidding!

Enjoy (Responsibly)!

Quick Update!
Here's the deal. Billeting begins at the end of the workweek, i.e. Friday, and runs for the next two weeks. I'm hoping to get all the pictures on the site by then, and maybe discriptions, though I doubt it. March break is this week for the school and so there is a ton of stuff to be cleaned and not much time to be on the computer, but at least the internet seems to be working at home meaning that I can post pictures. G-mail works again, just in case anybody didn't see the comment I added.
I should know billeting contact info by Wednesday, which is the day that I meet my family, so expect it on the site sometime shortly after.
Enjoy the pictures.

More Picture Descriptions
Wow, I realized that I posted the pictures of the fire-spinning workshop twice, in both Part 15 and 16 and nobody noticed.
Katimavik - Part 17 is pictures taken at the end of billeting: my room, my packed stuff, the photo I left the family, etc. The Saturday after billeting was rise and shine early to go spend the day in Saint John, NB. We went to Canada's oldest consecutively run market, took a walking tour of historic downtown, visited the Saint John museum, had dinner at Taco Pico's (a Mexican restaurant) and went to see a Sea Dogs boxing match...I mean...hockey game. When we got home we had very little time before we had 3 groups in the house, with some rotating out only to be replaced by another. In all there were 5 Katimavik groups in Fredricton that Saturday.
Katimavik - Part 18 is pictures from my work place in Fredericton, York Manor Nursing Home. One of the favourite games was crokinole, though we weren't using the nice board that day. Greek night was Greek food and togas, scrounged from whatever fabric you could find in the house. (Don't I look good with blue hair, wrapped in a sheer curtain!) Then there's some shaving going down, followed by orange night, where food and clothes were orange.
Katimavik - Part 19 starts with a trio of nuts going jogging in winter, then a great spaced out shot. Then the long process of dying hair began, with two of us bleaching then dying all or part of our heads blue, and one going darker. Don't ask about the pillow, you don't want to know.
Katimavik - Part 20 is our overnight excursion to Moncton, NB. The first bunch of snaps comes from the Crystal Palace, an indoor amusement park. The museum type pictures are from the Acadian Museum in the University of Moncton. We then headed out to Hopewell Rocks and had a ton of fun exploring and running around in the tide flats and caves. We then went to a biodiverse, organic farm and learned about self-sustaining, organic farming, and got to chill with the cool animals. The last shot is of my great-great-aunt Pearl and I, taken at her house in Fredericton.
Katimavik - Part 21 begins with a Valentines Day party at York Manor, then moves into beard and hair cutting, which is part of Katimavik's unofficial sport, body modification. With a beautiful segway, I'll keep with the theme and move into body modification of a different sort, restarting a heart. Then with yet another body segway, we finish with a beautiful picture display lots of body. Who knows I might publish the photo-edited version the next time I'm putting up pictures.

Wow, I Have Been Slacking!
So I have kind of let picture descriptions get behind the times and so I thought that I would try to bring them up to speed.
Katimavik - Part 9 is entirely made up of shots taken on New Years morning. Unfortunately, I misplaced my camera and din't find it until New Years morning after we went polar dipping in the ocean.
Katimavik - Part 10 is the arrival of our two new (at the time) participants. They would be the ones who were not in any prior shots. We all sat around in the living room of the Fredericton house and chatted for most of the night.
Katimavik - Part 11 involves the exploits of yours truly at the World's Largest Potato and its little brother. This is then followed by a trip to Science East in downtown Fredericton, where as you can see I spent a good ten minutes to write my name in a bunch of iron filings. We then headed to the basement where the museum was located, which detailed the history of the building as Fredericton's oldest jail. Don't I look pretty as a sunflower!
Katimavik - Part 12 is a bunch of shots of us chilling in the house prior to going out to celebrate a birthday. Some of us got turned away from Dooley's as it becomes an establishment and no longer a pool hall in the evening. There are then a bunch of pictures of us starting the voting process, which took a long time as we were all out of our local ridings. Then we went sledding at Mactaquac Provincial Park with its awesome sledding hills, though I don't have any pictures of the actual sledding.
KAtimavik - Part 13. Ahhhhh, yes. This albulm is the end result when you give a housefull of young adults a box of 72 condoms and already have a no sex rule in place. 2:00 am brings the mayhem of CONDOM BALLOONS!!!! It was the night before billeting and all through the house everybody was sleeping, except for the three of us, and so a whole bunch of condoms got blown up and tossed into people's beds with them.
Katimavik - Part 14 begins with the first of two basketball tournaments that I attended with my billet family in Fredericton, NB. The team took second place after a fairy tale finish in the semi-final. Then follows pictures taken in the Underground Café, located on Charlotte street in Fredericton. This is what happens when you give a big kid a digital toy that takes pictures and he has too much time on his hands.
Katimavik - Part 15 is the second of two basketball tournaments, this time in Sussex, NB, where the team took second place in a close, but badly officiated contest. This is then followed by pictures of the fire spinning workshop held at the Underground Café, then my billet family took me out to dinner at the Lunar Rogue resteraunt, and then two of us went skating and took a bunch of pictures while waiting to be picked up.
Parts 16 through 21 will follow at a later date as the computer lab is getting busy.

Mr.E Doesn't Need Titles, Fool!
Well, I couldn't think of a title but I do have things to say so I needed some way to post.
Megs, sorry I haven't been able to respond to anything but I was house manager last week and had squat in the way of computer access. Since I have reshaved the Mohawk and have been told numerous times that I look like a white version of Mr.T, I felt that this quote is appropriate.
"Mr. T cannot be pitied. Mr. T is most often envied, admired or feared. Once, Mr. T was even ignored. That fool has since been nothing but pitied."
Also, I know that there have not been a lot of pictures posted on the site in the last while, though that will hopefully change soon. We are supposed to get a router for the house in the next little while and get the internet working on our computer. The temperature here is becoming much warmer which allows me to take pictures as my Monster batteries for my camera did not enjoy the weather below minus 15 Celsius.
The transition to St.Norbert was difficult and tension in the house has been growing, though there have been some breakthroughs in communication, it is still a big change to get used to.
I am starting to get really busy at school (my work placement is St.Norbert Immersion school, which is K to 8), including notable projects as assisting in the direction of Charlie et L'Usine du Chocolat put on by the grade 8 class. Pretty much all weekends are booked solid for this rotation and with French classes twice a week added in this is turning into an action packed trimester.
I love to get phone calls and mail, so I'll give out contact info again.

No guarantee on when the next newsletter edition will come out, but I have a big email that needs to go to the mayor of Winnipeg first so I'll work on it when I can.
Mr.E pities the fool.
