And I have one something a bit different coming up. 

Tonight I'll be lined up at the English bookstore at 1am, when they 
start the big party. (Yup. One. Aye. Em. They're going by GMT ... Why 
do I have ot be on the wrong end of things?? I'm trying to console 
myself with the thought that I might be Ukraine.)

Next stop: Tomorrow at 19.00 is the kickoff of the Swissbowl - the 
final game of the Swiss American Football League. Our team is playing 
but are definitely the underdogs, so there's no way Evan and I miss 
that one. (For the record: we're gonna whoop 'em. I said it. Right 
here.)

Sunday at 17.00 I get to preach for the first time in our new church. 
Sermon: Mark 13: Apocalypse, the End of Time, Abominations of 
Desolation, the whole nine yards. No, I didn't choose the text. But 
it is one of the few times I got my sermon done several days ahead of 
time.

I've heard of preachers putting the congregation to sleep (though I'd 
never admitt to doing it myself, of course) - but I may well be the 
first preacher to fall aslepp during his own sermon ...

But all in all, this is going to be ONE FUN weekend!

Happy reading to one all,

Mike (who'll swing by at some point to confirm having survived.)
