We have learned that the brain is plastic and with repetitive exercises can be trained. Check out this film.

We’re back from Chicago and had a great trip. Turns out PBS is working on a program on religion and medicine, which was the theme of the conference that I attended. Michelle was filmed back at the university and at the scene of her accident. I did a three hour interview with the producers. Maybe you’ll see us on TV but it won’t be for awhile. We all came home exhausted.
Off to Chicago

Michelle and I are packing our bags and getting ready to go to Chicago next week. I’m presenting a paper at the Inaugural Conference on Medicine and Religion sponsored by the University of Chicago. We hope to get back to the U of C campus for a memory visit. We’re not sure who is still in Chicago but we’ll be at the Westin Hotel on Michigan Ave. if you wish to contact us. Chicago here we come.
