Contrary to the SCLM, we weren’t in danger

As the truth will gradually push out the rumor-mongering fueled by the Punditocracy, Internet and ravenous 24-hour Infotainment our civilization calls “the news,” Somara and I were already at work when this went down. I had a rough idea of … Continue reading

My teeth and gums are progressing

Yesterday’s cleaning and inspection was great. The worst ratings I had on my gums were fours. Last session in October had a couple of fives (the purple numbers). I had accrued some extra fours but I can live with them … Continue reading
