Back in town (litterally)
A little end-of-the-weekend jaunt into Portland to see my sister and my nephew turned out to be quite a bit of fun. The main activity was OMSI, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, which has a wide variety of exhibits – enough to keep all of us – from my 4-year-old nephew to my artist brother to my engineer dad – entertained for a number of hours.
One of my long-range plans is to get the TRC to bring down the entire International School to watch the Pacific Northwest regional in Portland, and have them stay Friday night at OMSI, something I know is possible because I did it once during a high school retreat. Combine the regional competition with some exhibits, some food, and a laser light show, and a trip to the Lloyd Center and I think we’d have pretty much the entire school happy with the TRC. Good times, yes.
Now, however, I must soon consider sleep, because my newfound duties as the lead mentor of the TRC seem to be requiring more and more time. So far, its been worth it, and I expect that trend to continue.

If you remember, the laser light show is in a fairly smallish room so the entire school wouldn’t be able
to what it all at the same time. Though that’s probably not a problem. However, I distinctly remember some
of us leaving the show early due to um… deafness. :) Hope they fixed that… or else they’d be in for a
treat.

It is a cool idea btw.
