The Gum Tree for 2005 January 4

I don't know if it exactly fits, but it does sound cool, doesn't it? Louise and I went to our dentist appointments and were surprised by some cavities. I had one and Louise had 10! Well, it is good that we saw them before they became a real problem. Louise has never been to the dentist by the way (darn socialized medicine), and that could partially explain the reason why she has so many in such a short time. The visit to the dentist was much of a capricious thing for us as well. I was in a store picking up a suit when I ran into one of my old young men’s advisors who was in dental school in San Antonio. He told me that he was practicing in Provo and I decided to check out his office since it has been about 7 years since last time I went. It just so happened that there were two slots that opened up today and I signed up for them. Now, Louise is wishing she were still living a life of disillusionment where she has perfect teeth. That is OK though, I mean, you have to have something that isn't perfect, don't you? I would rather it be her teeth then her perfectly sharp wit and personality. School is getting off to a good start as well. All I need is a 35 on the MCAT and I will be home free for medical school. I will have to study every single day for a few hours, and I will be fine.
