Fixed!

A GIANT thank-you to my niece, Nicole, for having me in to her work to have my sloppy dental work fixed up. It seems that the work was ok on the whole, but my random dentist had some wacky ideas about finishing it off. And perhaps lack the know-how to floss. Anyway, in for an x-ray, work by the doc and then scaling by a hygenist, all at no cost! Super-friendly doc, and sitting in the chair listening to work being done nearby, was reminded what professional dentistry is actually supposed to be like. Had to venture back to drop off a bottle of wine for the man. Awesome job.

And a great little visit home for the holidays. I'm always glad to go (if also glad to leave before too long). The fam was surprised and happy to see the pup come along with, and he had a good visit, too.

Now possibly over to Toronto for New Year's. Have to see. Oh, and work is on the horizon. I start Jan. 7 in a new office. Excited by the work (and heck, working in my field has regained novelty status) and will be nice to be paying down debt instead of continuing to accumulate it. A good start to 2008!
