Today I am taking part in an all-day "webinar" with At Peace Media, called Tools For Touch.

It's interesting, so far.

Boy, Does My Back Hurt
It started hurting on Friday afternoon, and it hasn't stopped yet.
At times it has been really, really bad. Naproxen helped. So did Cyclobenzaprine. A shot of Toradol at Immediate Care helped a whole lot. Also an electric heating pad and frequent hot soaks in the tub.
Kathe is taking good care of me.
Mostly, though, I'm just waiting for it to get better.

OMTA Meeting
Kathe and I just got back from the Eugene edition of the annual meeting of the Oregon Massage Therapy Association. The theme of the meeting was keeping your business afloat during the current difficult times.
I noticed that in addition to the meeting being divided into Eugene and Portland editions, almost everything else at the meeting was oriented to either Portland or Eugene. No big surprise, since those are the largest centers of massage activity, but as Kathe put it, there was a distinct lacuna, and we were in it.
So now I am thinking about setting up a mid-Valley chapter covering the Philomath-Corvallis-Albany-Lebanon area, extending maybe as far as Salem and Sweet Home. I will be contacting local LMTs to see what they think of the idea.

Buy My Book
It's a much-improved version of the massage book I hand out to my own students.
http://www.amazon.com/With-a-Friendly-Touch-ebook/dp/B005BCPCFU/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1311549058&sr=1-1
I think it is a very good introduction to massage, suitable for an interested beginner.

Father's Day
My father left very few things undone. One that comes to mind is that he never published or wrote (so far as I know) a science fiction novel like the ones he so liked to read.
One story that he mentioned he would enjoy writing is one in which the Central powers were victorious in the First World War.
I'm not writing that story either, but I am right now engaged in a project inspired by the Christmas Truce of December, 1914, and it does involve an alternate history and a different outcome for the war that his own father fought in. And I do think of my father and his father often as I write.
I feel another affinity for my father as I work: I am doing it in no small part because I have a family to support.
