I took a train to Brussels to meet

Meeting Matt, a cousin-in-law of the Liotta family, he was headed to Ghent on a business trip.  We toured:

: some sight seeing, had Brussels waffles, mine a warm one with melted white chocolate  followed by a bucket of mussels, A dish of fries, all washed down with a westmalle dubbel.  I had an interesting journey back to the apartment.

I was very close to playing some baseball, but due a minor wrist injury suffered while cycling, that no longer seems reasonable.  While reading exciting new literature in the March 2016 issue of Continental Philosophy, I came across the name: Amy Allen. This reminded me of the wonderful work going on at the Medical Humanities Program at Penn State.

I hope you are having a lovely start to your summer.  As you know, I've been playing with the idea of a PhD involving the phenomenology workshop for patients through their oncology unit there.

I cannot apply until January for necessary funding, but I got an idea today:

As it turns out, Penn State's phenomenology department and medical humanities departments are very impressive.  What is novel akin to the workshop at Bristol is this thing called Graphic medicine {http://www.graphicmedicine.org/book-series/graphic-medicine-manifesto/} So I want to try and bring together these two very novel things: phenomenology workshop for patients (in England) and graphic medicine (in PA).
