House Work, Dentists and a Review of Zombieland

A variety of updates for you today. First off, an update on the house: the chimney has started to rise again. Four layers of bricks were added yesterday, and from what DKC tells me, more layers are going up even as we speak. Or read. Or write. Or . . . whatever. As for the barn, we’ve decided not to paint it this year. The temperatures here in Maine have dropped sharply, and we don’t want to paint it, only to have it go sour and have to redo it in a year or two or three. So we’re focusing […]

Denist Success

It looks like all is well in the land of dentistville. DKC went today and got a root canal and filling, and that should finish her off. She’s supposed to check in next week one last time, just to make sure everything is in order, but it looks good. (Knock on wood) So with this third tooth finished, it ended up costing $500 vs $4500.

Bad enough that he couldn’t fix it all right then–and he might not be able to fix it all in the time we have left. It depends on what happens when she goes

Dentists

Part two a success. Denisa’s now getting work done on her second crown. Still saving bundles of money, which makes this trip a resounding success, and makes me feel much less guilty for coming on this trip in the first place. Writing’s going very well, too. 4 of 19 chapters revised so far on the book–one while I’ve been here. Not much else to report. I read about Tiger Woods’ success at the Open, which pleased me–wish I could have watched it myself. But it’s also really kind of nice to be more or less unplugged for a while. I
