Oct 2008

So we've been living in the east bay for a few months now. I'm pretty sure that we've gotten most of the dorky tourist stuff out of the way by now (pictures follow)... we went to some giants games, rode the cable car, biked around golden gate park and the reservoir, saw the blue angels at fleet week, and have generally been eating way too much good food.

I am currently working at UCSF in the radiology department. I'm working with a group studying osteo-arthritis, there are three or four projects going on at the moment, for the most part I am just helping out wherever I am needed. It is lots of computer work and wet lab work but from time to time I get to do something out of the ordinary like sit in on a surgery and collect samples (read: pieces of cartilage). I thought it might gross me out, but really its pretty interesting to see how they cut the knee or hip up and then re-build it.

I was going to put a bit in here about Ev, but he's saying that he will write his own this week so lets see if that happens :o)

More than anything we're just getting ready for the next adventure, which is Maui in about a week. We have Jenny, Kevin, and Ryan all coming along so it should be a great time. More about that when we get back...

peace!
