So I am back. Fatherhood has not been as tough as I expected it to be....although it helps to have a mother-in-law who is extremely helpful and willing to watch the baby late at night. Additionally with my wife having time off of work she is taking a lot of the load.

I plan to document various stories about Pia as time goes on but today I want to write about what happened today.

I am in San Francisco, My little brother graduated from Medical School. He was at UCSF and is now embarking on a career as an anesthesiologist in Cornell University in New York...Passing gas to make Cash. The ceremony was nice with a good speach by the dean and then a keynote speach by the Surgeon General of the United States. The ceremony occurred at the Nob Hill Masonic Center (not sure if it has to do with the free masons) and it wa extremely nice. It took me back to how my medical school graduation was celebrated by my Med School (Dayanand Medical College and Hospital in Ludhiana) I was asked to get my papers signed and to make sure all my bills were paid ( I think I had to bribe a person too) and then 3 months later I received a Laminated degree which looked like a Kindergardner had made it. The kicker was it folded in quarters....nice. Now I have a degree with 4 lines in it...I'll scann a picture of it soon.
In any case we are all proud of him and enjoyed the ceremony a lot.
