I rolled over and squinted at my blackberry.. and EEEEK yes.. I had a dentist appointment in 30 minutes.. and the dentist&#8217;s office is 25 minutes away.. believe it or not I made it.. I&#8217;m not sure I was dressed or anything.. but at 9:05 I was in the comfy chair being jabbed with pointy dentist things.. believe it or note I love going to the dentist. It feels like your teeth are getting massaged.. the way it must feel for a crocodile to have those little birds come in and clean your teeth. I did ask for a little anesthesia.. to block the easy listening music in the office..&nbsp;&nbsp; denied&#8230;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/may0908\/may0808027.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp; P the dental hygienists lady and I talked about our kids&#8230; I gave her a samstone..

I hadn&#8217;t really seen her all week&#8230;we went for a run then had a great lunch outside. It was so nice talking to her. I&#8217;ve been getting so down and sad these last couple of weeks.. talking to Diane really helps me.. she&#8217;s very calm and wise.. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/may0908\/may0808032.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">The puppy got up to play with us and left a hug pile of dirt from outside where she was laying..

Diane took off with our friend Gary to see a spiritual lecture down in Springfield MA..&nbsp;&nbsp; Around 5:30 I dropped Gabe and Jack of at the movies.. then came back and started in again on my presentation for the ISCAS conference in a week and a half. That must have been about 7:30 .. next time I looked up.. which was basically now.. it was 2:00 AM ..&nbsp;&nbsp; <br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp; While I was looking for illustrations for my talk , I came across this flash picture that Max and Sam had taken of a balloon popping.. that&#8217;s Sam in the picture.. it&#8217;s a weird picture.. but one that brings back great memories.. &nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/may0908\/2005_1114strobe0008.jpg\" \/><br \/><\/center> <br \/>I&#8217;ll go dream about them now..
