The Pain of it all...

Dang it all! All this good news coming out of our capital and a little break in the weather and other good stuff and my mouth goes into a lets-hurt-mikey-mode. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. Goldarn tooth is killing me... Only way to keep the pain at bay is to keep the affected tooth bathed in cool to cold water, or iced coffee, the anti pain drink of choice at the moment. Off to the dentist at 1pm today. More than likely an infection, something I've had twice before in the last thirty some years, the first time ending with a tooth yank, the second time with a root canal and a tooth cap. The over the counter pain pill suggested by the dentist's office hasn't touched the pain yet. No great hope for it to do so. Ouch. Quick, more coffee.

Did finish Sijie's Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress yesterday. A charming little book that gave me a new appreciation of all those millions of Chinese people who had to live through the Cultural Revolution of the '70's. And the ending has a nice little twist that will knock your shoes off. Worth the read and I am looking forward to what the movie adds or subtracts from the book. Now on to The Road.

We have a guess on the young half naked mystery golfer posted earlier. And no it is not Larry Hembree though that's a pretty good guess.

Got to get ready to go to Mitchell. Hope they have the magic that will take away the pain.
