Frankfurters for Everyone!

Good evening Germany! You happen to be the country that, not counting the US, I had the most page views from this week (6), lol. For being such a great audience i'de like to thank you Germany for bringing us Audi, Mercedes Benz, and BMW. Thank you also for sending Janine Pretti, our x-manager at Aeropostale, to the US. If it wasn't for her and her store Jen and I would have never met. I also love a (Kosher) Frankfurter once in a while, so thank you. Hitler, Nazi's, and the Holocaust...not so great.



Shannon, ha

 That was fun.

In clinic this week we've been practicing measurement, don/doff, adjustment, and care skills of prosthetics and orthotics. We got to choose various pieces to try on and then present our make-believe case to the class. Here are a few of my classmates (pics) bringing a little pizazz to disabilities. When Shannon (in the shades) was up I couldn't help but be reminded of the Lady Gaga Paparazzi video where she was being lifted out of a blinged out wheelchair with gold loftstrand crutches. This thought made me lose it so the whole time Shannon was presenting I couldn't stop laughing. What a jerk. 



Last night we went to a rooftop bbq at the Rockrose building here in LIC. There were lots of good friends there, including our neighbors Ricky and Richard (married to two sisters upstairs, not a gay couple. ha) who are usually working that time of night. Jen and I split up and got to know a few new friends too. The weather was nice and cool, but after an hour or so outside the sky over the city skyline turned to dark shades of gray and black. It looked so ominous, like the evil NYC scene from Ghostbusters. It was quickly moving our way, though, and it started pouring a few minutes later. The drops were huge and everyone was suddenly scrambling to get inside, grabbing trash, dishes, children, and whatever else. We waited inside in the building's amazing rec room, "Club Rockrose," until the rain let up a little.

I was practicing in my Brooklyn clinic for 9 hours today and then came home to put together a powerpoint for a group presentation tomorrow... I'm pooped. Jen's out tonight celebrating two girlfriend's b-days at Shi, the waterfront sushi place in the 'hood.
