I better get used to it

This is the first photo I've seen of Greg Maddux pitching as a Padre. Oh well, at least the uniform is predominantly blue and not one of those horrible vintage orange jerseys the San Diegans used to wear. Not even I could find him attractive in that.

Lest you think that my Maddux fixation precludes my love of all things Cub, let me share that I'm optimistic, worried, and generally discombobulated about the Hall of Fame veterans committee voting. When the results are announced on February 27, I really want to hear that Ron Santo has been elected. He wants it so badly. Because he's one of the players I grew up on, and because now I get such a kick out of hearing his monosyllabic grunts in my headphones, I want him to get it. But because I'm a Cub fan, I'm afraid to hope, and I don't like thinking about how badly he'll be hurt if the voting doesn't go his way.

Trying to find this funny …

So yesterday I went to the dentist and had my cracked veneer repaired. I have to wait a couple weeks for the permanent one to come in, and it's going to expensive, but that's why God made dental insurance and credit cards.

This morning I awoke and checked my new front tooth in the mirror. Only to find that somehow I had lost a porcelain crown on the bottom right.

Where could it have gone? After the dentist, I went to my accountant to go over my tax return. Followed by a bowl of cereal for dinner. I know, I know … it's a glamorous life. Anyway, I guess that what I assumed was an especially crunchy pecan was actually my own tooth, which I swallowed.

Oh, good! Instead of a cracked tooth on the top front, I have a visible silver spike on the bottom front. More money, more time in the dentist chair.

Not to mention how really hot and sexy this smile makes me feel. Perhaps I should stay home, and not torment the men I encounter with this dazzling smile.
