Any similarity between the treatment of this statue at the Met and the dental treatment I got today is purely coincidental.
Today was the volunteer luncheon at the Cheyenne Mountain Country Club. There was a great pork dish served this year that got rave reviews when compared to the rubber chicken fare of years past. Larry Siedel did well as a keynote speaker especially using the excerpts from the book soon to be published about the history of Penrose Hospital.
Margaret Sabin naturally delivered great and appropriate remarks outlining a hospital funded trip to Peru to bring medical service to very isolated people.
We left early for my dental appointment which involved pokes to the gums to measure ‘pockets’ (whatever that means). It basically resulted in the purchase of a $30 mouthwash which has been found effective in growing gum tissue which avoids surgery. Bring it on!
I also got a couple of free killer apps for the iPhone today. The first one is called “Over 40” which turns the camera into a great 10X magnifier and flashlight and the other called “Mail Stop” uses the camera to photograph the label of junk mailers, emails the image to the Mail Stop company who then gets our name on the “do not send” list.
Technology sure is great when it works!!
