Floss

This morning I got a call from my dentist telling me that in a few weeks it will be time for my six-month check-up. That means that I have a few weeks to start flossing. Failing that, it means that I have a few weeks to go to a temp dentist, get my teeth cleaned, then go to my real dentist, who will no doubt be impressed with the care (and flossing!) I've been showing my teeth.

I gave the latter idea some serious thought this morning. I mean, if it's covered under my insurance, why not? The only downside I can foresee is the possibility that I'll feel some attachment to my temp dentist, and in five months will have to see a temp-temp dentist before going to see my temp dentist before going to see my dentist. Eventually I'll be going to dentists every month, which would be kinda cool in a Howard Hughes way.

Really, though, the only difference between me and Howard Hughes is A) the bank balance, and B) some days I get more sun than he did.
