My Brain, Myself, and Me, a wacky story about three amigos' travels through life together and their
goofy escapades.  Think it'll sell?  You can pitch it since your more familiar with the subject matter.  
Not sure where I fit in..but I want a piece of it.

Today started as a sick day..then the sun came out and I got off my ass and did some shit...it was a
beautiful day, I may go so far as to say.  I even went and bought a stove and put it in ..it looks lovely
in the new home and makes the kitchen look much more kitchen-like.  I would like a few more days
like today..a breezy, sunny, Spring-ish day.  I opened the new house wide open all over and it was all
nice and dry all the live-long day.  Then I went to the dentist.

The dentist gal was in the fight of her life against that tooth, and for about what seemed an hour or
two, I thought the tooth was gonna win it.  My beard kept getting involved in the fray, which added
greatly to my consternation and pain.  I finally grabbed it and pulled it out of the way as much as
possible, since it was hardly able to defend itself in the melee.  She somehow got an edge on that
tooth from hell and played it to her ultimate advantage, producing it's bloody self, all three great roots
of it for my inspection.  I had to be sure it was the same one I'd been fighting with for so long myself,
and that I finally had it where I wanted it..out of my mouth.

Satisfied it was Dante's evil demon molar, I had her wrap it up ..to go.  I would make sure it was
disposed of properly.  I burned it, beat it with a mallet, and tossed it off a cliff (as planned).. after first
ridiculing it, then forcing it to suffer subtle sarcastic humiliation and degrading intimidation in the
hands of a mentally challenged man and his dogs.. for a long time..

When the anesthetic started wearing off, I knew I was in for a bad time of it.  I hustled over to Mark's
house and bummed a couple of his pain pills..went home..took em..waited..nothing.  I went back to
the dentist and got a prescription for some good shit..which is now dulling things  nicely enough to
look back on the experience with good humor, along with a bit of anxiety about the duration of the
pain medicine's effectiveness.  I can't quite remember having pain like that..except maybe when I had
105.6  temp..anyhow...it was right up there in the pain scale.

Just one more day and it's goof off time!  oh boy oh boy oh boy..

I went to Dominical this morning to do the telephone move request thing, but the guy that handles
that, and everything else it seems, was not there yet...I will try again tomorrow, but call first.

Hope you have a good Friday..hiding in your office, hiding at the water cooler, or just hiding any
damn place you like.  It might be good to invest in one of those invisibility cloaks, like Harry Potter
had.  Nice thing to have for the girls shower room...eh?  nudge nudge..
