Sidenote:
Just found this draft from earlier this semester. Sorry to post it out of order...

Week 5 is in the books for 2nd year of PT school at University of Puget Sound. Some highlights of the 2nd year so far:

• Swimming, rock climbing, handstands and pogo-sticking help me relieve stress.
• As of today, 10/3/14, I can do one full pull-up from straight-arm hang. My goal is 5.
• Rocked my Orthopedic Manual therapy first lab practical.
• Own a massage table (thanks Craigslist- $50) which helped me practice for aforementioned lab practical.
• Take Stephanie to and from school from the 512 park and ride.
• Aren't we a good looking bunch!

down into Riffe Lake with Mossyrock to the west.

below and the lighter clouds and blue sky, from Peterman Hill.

It's been another enjoyable semester at UPS, year 2 of the DPT program. I'm learning a lot. Didn't make time for my hiking or the dog which I feel slightly guilty for...so I'm trying to make up for it now. I did manage to swim and do the elliptical at the school gym while I was on campus. Just yesterday, the snow arrived so that will keep me grounded, unless I go up to where I can wear my new snowshoes. Tentatively scheduled for later this week.
Probably can't bring the dog.  She'll sink into the snow and get lost.
