The Root of My Problem!

March 02, 2007

It is written in the Scripture that ye all shall endure sufficient snow, sleet, rain, wind and slop to grow angry before the pain of winter slips away. So suck it up, it is "written".

Your mom and I spent a night at the Performing Arts Center enjoying Garrison Keillor of Prairie Home Companion fame do a concert with the Fox Cities Symphony. It sounds stuffy but it was a delight. Garrison was on stage for the whole concert reciting poems, spinning bullshit stories and singing his version of famous songs. In the background was the symphony. I did learn that sex is not the answer. Sex is the question. Yes, is the answer. We did not sell our tickets on e-Bay for the reported going fee of $450 per person.

A week ago, I underwent a root canal from my friendly dentist. He was almost done (after 2 hours) and he said "whoops" I can't do this. I couldn't talk with all the crap in my mouth so I tried to understand what "I can't do this" means. It means I have to go to a specialist endodonist that must blast through calcification of one ot the canals. So my dentist quickly closed up the procdure and put a temporary filling in my tooth. I was home 20 minutes and the temporary filling started flaking apart. So I went back to get a second "temporary". In two weeks a specialist will perform his version of a root canal and then I can go back to get my tooth restored over the root canal. I am going to get charged for the first failed root canal, temporary fillings from two visits, a professional root canal using blasting techniques and finally tooth restoration complete with large fillings. It all makes me wonder. You can live you whole life keeping you regular teeth if you are willing to pay. My mother had false teeth and the biggest expense in her life was one or two replacement sets.

Cable News showed a hearse taking Anna Nicole Smith to the airport to be flown to the Bahamas to be buried with her son. Who the hell is Anna Nicole Smith?

Brett Favre had his ankle surgery this week. He personifies tough. He had to remove his blue costume with the big "S" on the chest. They couldn't cut through the skin to reach the ankle bone until they used a laser. They broke every scalpal they had on his tough bone. They had to use diamond tipped tools to remove the spurs. They did not use any anesthetic. Is he our hero or what? Rumor has it that the removed bone spurs will be sold on e-Bay.

Grasshopper No. 5 needs a job with good paying benefits. There is a perfect match out there someplace. It is written.

Love,

Dad
