A toothache of a different kind

It's been a good day, worked on 3 different projects today, one which is ongoing. Another that I have that is ongoing I didn't have time to work on. For that one I'll need to visit a service bureau for mounting and framing. No meetings tonight, a little bit of side work to do. The bummer of the day is a bill from the dentist - I had a crown pop out a couple of weeks ago, it was a difficult tooth to repair at the time of the original work, surgery on the bone to expose enough root to set a crown on, back in 1999. Well a post holding the crown in place broke off. Dr Jim put a titanium post in to replace the broken one. Pretty quick job - the bill was a stunner though - insurance wasn't much help for that one.

Here's a picture from my department's window Monday, in the middle of the picture is Back Cove. It was about 7:30am when I took the picture, the water was calm and reflective. The view for the camera may be a little flat and distant, It's a spring view in town, just a little is enough to start that day.

Ian has gone to his Fire/Rescue Explorers meeting, they have some special training tonight. Carol's doing the banking. It's early in the game and the Redsox are ahead of the Yankees 3-1 in the bottom of the 3rd - GO BOSOX!

Started a new book the other day, DeepDrive (SciFi), picked it up at a used bookstore in Portland up the street from the office, "Book Traders". So far an exciting read, never heard of the author before, Alexander Jablokov, isn't that a SciFi kind of name (oh-oh I jinxed it, Yanks tied it 3-3). Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back.

Heh, try Iain Banks and his Culture series.
