It was a very brief trip. Left yesterday, caught the 9am ferry, was at my sister's office by noon.

Got the bad news at 12:10.

I cracked my left lower rear molar so badly, that I'm going to need (1) a root canal, (2) gum surgery, and (3) a crown.

Yeah, I'm 47 years old and these things should be expected, but the last new filling I needed was when I was 23. My teeth, my gums and my bone mass are better than your average 16 year old (my sister showed me comparative x-rays, it's true, it's true).

The problem is that I grind - it's not a stress thing (though I am stressed), but night time bruxism is caused by a misalignment of the upper and lower jaws. I should wear my nightguard, but I have small and low palate and a larger than average tongue.

Which is geographic.

Okay, way too much information.

So, anyway, teeth are cleaned. 37 year old filling replaced, dinner and dessert accomplished.

And we watched the most awful movie ever made - The Immortals. It wasn't that it just felt like an extended cut scene from a video game, it was pointlessly violent, totally ahistoric, badly acted, and just plain STUPID.

Took sister and b-i-l out for breakfast, gathered up my stuff, and headed home. Caught an earlier ferry, made the expensive mistake of stopping at the Cole Haan store at the outlet center (I had a major coupon) and got home about an hour ago.

Need to sort dinner and make it an early night.

Love to you all!

I hope everything about the weekend except the dental mishap was delightful.

It was a lovely weekend. And even the awful movie was sort of fun, if just to have someone to mock it with!
