As I did for the age of 17 (on another webpage), I continued to doodle. At 29 I had entered my post-medical school specialty training in psychiatry and there were seminars, class lectures for the twelve of us (or thereabouts, as I dimly remember) at Stanford University Medical School’s Department of Psychiatry.

Looking back, the lectures were probably more meaningful than I could appreciate, but I’m bright and absorbed a lot. Indeed, I’ve always been bright enough to absorb even while multi-tasking, often the other task being the elaboration of a doodle.

Here’s one of a city that I lived in or ruled or just found pleasantly complex. (Now I shudder to think of urban living, but back then it was still the excitement of the big town!)
