Nice day, although the arm and leg are still sore and I have a bump and probably a bruise on my hip. I don't see any point in trying to see it, but I can feel it. Arm has improved a lot, leg not so much.
We walked, but Susan still feels lousy. She said she was planning to tell Walter to go the Cape May without her--not much fun, that. But later--and happily, I hope--Walter sent me an e-mail with the two of them at a restaurant with glasses of wine. Caption was "Made It!" so they got there. Should be back Friday and I hope Susan is well enough to enjoy it.
Picked up Aline at 8:00, more than an hour earlier than our usual. She had to get the 9:30 bus to Toms River, as she'll again be traveling to Manhattan, this time for five days. We went to Dynasty for poached eggs and good talk, then I dropped her at the bus stop.
I was home long enough to put in a wash, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor, then left for Italian Gourmet. Met Betty--we were both early--and had a fine, sisterly lunch and talk. Started home, but went up to Manahawkin instead and got a few things at Shop-Rite.
Today, I have to go to the guys (two brothers) I call "McDentist" and get my semi-annual teeth cleaning. Damn, I hate going; why for we have to have teeth, anyway? I would have substituted some kind of grinding apparatus, if only I had been consulted during the creation process.

We have teeth so we can go to the dentist's office twice a year (four times, in my case) and roll the dice. I call this "The Idiot's Casino," because you can't win. You either break even (routine cleaning, no issues, see-you-next-time), or you lose (filling, crown, root planing, whatever). The only way out of this game that I know of involves going to the underside of the sod. I'll do that sometime ... but it's hard telling when.
"The underside of the sod--." love it! Jim, you've gotta be Irish to turn a phrase like that.
Incidentally, several years ago, I had a lot of make-up work done on my teeth--almost ten grand worth, in fact--so I do want to preserve them long enough to last as long as I do.
