Session #19 (NYC)

At today's session, Shinji filled in the right side under my ass cheek—the part that was really shitty to get done on the other side. This session was a little easier, but not by much.

It was really disappointing to sit for two hours to see what looks like amazing progress when bending forward, only to see that skin fold under my ass when I stand, and see all that work compressed into such a small area compared to what I still have left to go. It reminds me of a joke:

A mohel walks into a leatherworker's shop. (A mohel is a person of the Jewish faith who performs ritual circumcisions.) The mohel places a jar on the counter and states that it contains the skin from all the circumcisions that he has performed over the years, and asks if something can be made from them. The man behind the counter tells the mohel to come back later in the month, and he will have something for him.

When the mohel returns, the clerk proudly hands him a wallet. "A wallet? asks the mohel. "There was skin from hundreds of circumcisions in that jar, and all I get is a wallet?!?"

"Ah, but wait," says the leatherworker. "When you rub it, it turns into a briefcase!"
