Slice of Pi

Friday, Mar. 14, 2008 - 9:22 a.m.

Yesterday, I went to the dentist to see if a loose front bottom tooth could be bonded to its neighbors.

The answer was yes, thankfully, but in the process of getting this done, I did realize that there's a buncha bunch more things to be taken care of.

I have never before been in a dentist's office so full of gorgeous females in my life.

My actual dentist -- Dr. Marquis -- is dark and angular and reminds me extremely much of Halle Berry.

The receptionist, Lynn, is Asiatic, with the most beautiful brown eyes I've seen in a very long time, and the most badunkadunk figure in the place. She had on an apple-green sweater, and I must say, the scenery was unforgettable.

I don't remember who took the x-ray of my yechhy tooth, but she was also very sweet and for some reason made me think of the little birds in the Disney movie that helped Cinderella prepare her dress.

There's also a hygienist there who looked like she was about nine feet tall. John's been worked on by her before; she's Russian, and she does that Black Cherry Red rinse thing to her hair.

Everybody said to say Hi to John for them, and they took extra good care of me.

I hate dental work. I get it done at the last scraping screaming minute and I go there kicking and resisting. My pediatric dentist was a fine fellow who had no problem at all slapping a worrisome child in the face, or saying things like 'tears will make it hurt worse.'

When I was seventeen, I was in a bad car accident wherein I bit a dashboard. In fact, it happened twenty-five years ago this week. I received a broken jaw, about eleventeen thousand stitches throughout my mouth, and managed to ruin most of the teeth you see when I smile.

But the folks at San Francisco Dental?.. they made me forget a lot of that.

The north wind was blowing yesterday, and though the sky was blue, I couldn't see a darn thing because my hair was down in my face.

Overall, it was a nice experience, despite the wind -- and when I have to go back and get more work done, that's where I'll go.

Today is Pi Day.

Allow me to serve you a slice:

I have it memorized to fourteen digits, and my goal is to memorize it to twenty.

All right, there you go. Have a nice Friday.
