I am suffering under one of the worst toothaches I have ever experienced, and I've had more than a few in my time--this one is truly the Mother Of All Toothaches. It started early in the week, shortly after my return from Maine, has gained momentum, swelled and now has engulfed my life entirely.

I dislike dentists, but I dislike unbearable pain a hell of a lot more, and I know when I've been beaten. I went in for treatment today, and as a consequence am now composing this entry under enough Vicadin to kill a small camel.

Hopefully once the penicillin kicks in and knocks this out I will emerge triumphant, reborn and blissfully pain-free...at which point my life will resume, and the quality and quantity of this blog should improve.

Now I must take my stoned self to the couch, and watch THE MARY KAY STORY the way it was meant to be watched.
