April 1--Rickrolled x 1

[zyzyly]

When I used to be a fairly serious practical joker, I never did it on April 1st. Way too obvious. Much better to do something on November 14, when they are least expecting it.

It is my step-brother's birthday. Not sure where he is, but I sent him an email greeting. He's been kind of a rolling stone for the past 5 years or so. I last saw him at his daughter's wedding in Denver a few years ago. I don't think about him much, other than his birthday and holidays, but when I do think of him, I hope he is ok.

I took my students out to lunch after clinical today. We went to Chevys, which can always handle a group of 11. It is a fun group and we had a good time.



They have about 6 weeks of preceptorship, then they will graduate.

This is the point in the semester for me where time starts to pass quickly. The next 6 weeks will just fly by, and then we will be done. I have the summer off, but will be taking classes, and have a lot to get done. Last summer was my first summer off, and I didn't do anything. I think that was part of the reason I applied for the doctoral program. I don't like being lazy, but lack intrinsic motivation, I guess.



The dogwoods are blooming.

I am not sure if it's the same chain, but at the southern California Chevy's, I liked the freshly-made tortillas.

Beautiful dogwoods.

I like the way you encourage comradery among yr students.

Ah, Chevy's. Such good memories... el machino, and the freshly made tortillas. It was where I learned what tamales were.

And I love the dogwood blooms. I'm putting that on my list of trees to plant if I ever get to someplace where I can plant trees.

All the women on the left, all the men on the right, despite the fact that there is plenty of room on the right, not so much on the left. Hmmmm.

It is--they are known for their fresh tortillas.

I like being connected to my students, and am a friend and mentor to many of them who have already graduated. One of the best things about being a teacher.

Haha--yes! I will make a note.

When we redo our back yard next year, I am putting in a dogwood tree.

I didn't notice it at the time, but you are right. I sat on the guy side too. Interestingly, though, the conversation was mostly cross-table.
