I grew up in New Rochelle, NY. Moved around a lot during my late 'teens/early 20s, and then settled into remaining in Middle California just as I turned 30. I lived for a time in Pasadena area, while I worked at NASA/JPL, but moved north again when I went to work for Apple. Been here in the SF Bay Area ever since.
I was in Cherry Hill and Haddonfield for a couple of weeks because my friend and acupressure therapist moved there about 18 years ago after she despaired of ever being able to afford a house of her own here in the Bay Area. After last October's car accident, and the consequent shoulder replacement surgery in December, I wrote her asking if she knew another acupressure therapist here that she'd recommend for my therapy.
"Heck with that! Come visit me for two weeks, stay in my house, and I'll get you set up for some sessions...." I didn't hesitate for one second: Rena is the best.
I'd only ever been to Cherry Hill once before ... an old roommate of mine at Fordham University came from there, and I went with him for a weekend's visit to his parents. That was eons ago. But it's a pleasant place, I got to do a lot of walking through the parks and neighborhoods, and went to the Philadelphia for a performance of
Carmina Burana at the Philharmonic. The goals of the trip were met, Rena worked her magic on my shoulder and legs, and I'm now feeling like I'm finally 90%+ of the way back to being healed from that cataclysm in October.
Whether we've crossed paths, I dunno. But if you're ever in the San Jose area and have some free time, just let me know and we'll have a meal, a coffee, and a lot of laughs telling stories to each other.
onwards, always onwards!
