April 19-25th

This week Tilly and I had Jordan and Topher over on Wednesday as usual, that will be a weekly thing now until we leave for the summer. Its always fun to have friends for Tilly to play with and its really fun to see how she interacts with an older girl and younger boy. The next day we met a few friends from story time at the zoo and stayed for quite a while, she had tons of fun with the goats, and birds, but liked running around more than looking at the other animals.

Richard taught the Brain in a Box program on Tuesday at a local middle school.Friday he organized a noon time PNHP speaker series event on the new health bill that went very well. 50 students from the school of medicine, dental, nursing and pharmacy showed up to hear Dr. Huntington speak.

That weekend we drove down to Bend, OR for Oregon Medical Association house of delegates meeting. Tilly and I had a blast swimming in the pool at the hotel  while Richard was at his meetings. We attended the banquet with him Saturday night and were proud when he and 2 other students accepted a donation for the med school from the OMA. We drove back in the beautiful scenery of the mountains surrounding us and horses and cows galore on the side of the road.
