Classmates

I am grateful for them all!
But I had the opportunity to catch up with Sean last night. He had been golfing near my house and I picked him up and we came up to watch the Giants (my team) vs the Indians (his team - he came adorned in an Indians polo shirt and matching cap). He has settled into a nice routine of treating patients at the Cal student health center and enjoys it a lot, however he is about to embark upon his "mentorship" from our doctoral year - a 3 month course in PNF at Kaiser Vallejo. He seems even more excited about that! We caught up a bit and he shared some new treatment tips and info about a class he took.
He is a great guy and I am sitting here thinking about our years together and the things that I remember most about Sean: Arranging "wake-up" (courtesy) calls on the mornings of mid-terms - we started this the first summer and continued it through the entire first year, His supreme patience and thoroughness when studying - I leaned a LOT from/with him, His easy and ready laugh, Walking his ex-boss's cool dog - Arugula, He introduced me to Hahn's Hibachi and I can remember no less than 3 times when we went and talked through some bigger life issues - thank you Sean for listening, Helping me move - TWICE, and mostly His sense of humor and ability to come up with a story for any occasion - a trait that I aspire to.
Jessie joined us and we got burritos and beers for dinner, there was a rain delay so the game got a late start and Jessie was a good sport as baseball is not her favorite.

I do so enjoy talking about this new craft that we are learning and sharing stories and tips and techniques! We vowed to start, once my shoulder is healed, getting together to trade and practice treatment techniques.

I am grateful!
