Hello! Christmas and other holidays!

Did you know that the song, White Christmas, sung by Bing Crosby, was from a musical?  I am uncertain why people long for snow on Christmas; perhaps we have this connotation that the snow reigns peace as well as water.  Or perhaps many of us are wise enough to appreciate the beauty of the darkness, the cold, and the light as it combines to help us remember our wishes for peace, health, and prosperity for every one.  While snow and cold are different, I would prefer a warm beach, sunshine, and soft, warm air.  Easily could I dream my holiday wishes there...

Happy Holidays and New Year

I am listening to the kind of gentle jazz that I really like; the music reminds me of my sweet husband, David.  He is cooking tonight; I can hear him chopping and hear the clang of the pots and pans as he gets them out of the cupboard. My David is sweet and earnest. He is tireless, works hard, takes care of his family, and loves me, too. I am very blessed and feeling so tonight. 

Hello! Christmas and other holidays!

Finally! I have conquered the mysteries of how to put grades in the webadvisor.  I was really glad to get everything averaged, entered, and put away!

Last Jaw Walking

Yes, snow. Flakes, unique. Frosty cold. Driving in it is a pain. I would like to get to the dentist today; my jaw still hurts. Or is it one of the two teeth in the back that hurt?  I have a lump under my jaw on that side, and my mouth has not stopped hurting since the last root canal. The whole of me is an aching jaw; nothing distracts from this discomfort even tho I have taken pills for pain.  A walking jaw that might slide, slip, and fall hard on the icy snow. Visually that is funny; however, it doesn't feel funny.  Last Jaw Walking; could it see where it were going? Could one email one's jaw? or scan it in and fax it? Remove it and take it in for service?  Would the dentist hoist it up on a riser like a car with a leak underneath?  One could secure a floating jaw with a three handed device; those little robotic looking things that give jewelers confidence to jewel...  If it floats, I could just give it to the sea and let the salt water clean it while the pain sensors are disconnected.  Would the jaw be overcome with oil? would it be rescued by those who are United Jaw Savers Unlimited?  Could my jaw talk or chew if it were loosed into the world? Or would it become the thing of nightmares?  The Night of the Killer Jaw! Killer Jaw Chews Up Slugs and Spits Them Out: Beware of slippery sidewalks!  My jaw would never have to worry again about the cost of a root canal if it became the star in a movie.  Or it could become an ebook and make millions as a best seller.  The pathos and bathos of the throes of tooth root pain makes killer out of tooth!  I wonder if Oprah would choose it for her Book Club?  What would the Jaw look like sitting on her couch?  or would it jump up and down, too?  A Jaw in Love; an Old Married Jaw; Tooth Kills Jaw; Tooth on Trial for Murder; Tooth gets the Death Penalty; Tooth declares that the root pain made him do it!  No more delaying; I have to call the dentist.
