My phone camera decided to not cooperate, so this is just text. Trudy and I went to the BodyWorks2 display where they inject the tissue with some kind of plastic stuf and then pose and expand the bodies so you can see the anatomy. I first saw it in Chicago with Tom, but wanted to see it again. If you are not in the medical field, I think it would be fascinating, but doctors and nurses probably have seen it all. I was most fascinated with the development of a fetus and seeing normal, smoker's, and coal miner's lungs.
The big new is this was my first week of work. YAHOO!!!! My boss was not there and they are downsizing, so there is a little confusion. I am going to training and I am a little rusty, but keeping my own.
I was the emcee at the Mutual Halloween party. Couldn't wear a mask, so I put a mask on a hat and put it on my head. There was a spider coming out of the eye. See, pictures make the difference. Oh well, next time.

This week has been quite exciting. First of all I received a verbal job offer from Teradyne as an applications engineer. It will be nice to be working after a 6 month respite. Trudy and I went to the temple on Saturday and after that we went to the park at Merritt Lake in Oakland. Inside the park was a bonsai exhibit. It was very nice. One of the Bonsai trees was presented to President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. That is the one that Trudy is sitting next to. The technique and variety of the trees was very impressive!!
