Happy Memorial Day

Greetings from sunny Northern California. Winter has finally ended. I have settled into a new routine so there is not much to report. My physical therapy continues to go well. My physical therapy Kaiser Vallejo has stopped for the near-term. I will continue to go to Pleasanton 2 to 3 times a week. Sandy and I are having some friends over tomorrow for a BBQ. Thanks for reading. Have a great day. Joe

An exciting week

The past week and a half have been very exciting. I had my first cuppa coffee since April 2009. My physical therapy has been going well. I am making slow but gradual progress. Last weekend I attended the Pac-10 track and field championships with one of my ex-athletes. On Saturday we had a very unusual experience. My wheelchair got locked in the wrong position in the car. We had to call the Berkeley fire Department to help us. They sent a hook and ladder to our rescue. Four firemen lifted me out of my chair and then put my wheelchair in the proper position. This episode lasted for about an hour and a half. Thanks for reading.

The past week and a half have been uneventful in terms of new adventures. Sandy and I have been going to physical therapy four and you will soon picture will stop listening that's not the computer Dido are times a week. The PT has been progressing well. Each day I see a little bit of improvement. The next big event for us will occur next Saturday when we go to see the Pac-10 track and field championships in Berkeley. The competition should be fierce amongst the different schools. I am enclosing a photo of a longtime friend named Leon who came to visit me last weekend. Leon lived in New Zealand for the past nine years and has recently returned to the United States. Thanks for reading. Joe
