Silly Olympic Events and Wisdom Teeth
Last bittie for the day: I went to the dentist today to see if my left bottom wisdom tooth needs to be pulled. He thinks it does, but wouldn’t pull it or even X-Ray it until my current tonsilitis infection is gone. Tonsilitis? Yeah, I didn’t know I had it, either. So now I have some antibiotics.

Tonight I met with Lime for coffee; because it was raining, I took a taxi there and home, and I happened to be wearing a pair of pants I’ve not worn in ages, which are my monk pants. They’re just like what monks wear, except for the color, and …
