Back to the dentist

Hopefully a word of warning to future crown-toothed friends.

I suffered through a 2 hour dentist appointment yesterday. It was #2 of what was supposed to be three appointments for getting crown. #1 was to build the tooth back up. #2 (yesterday) was to prep the tooth, take molds for the crown and get a temporary. #3 is going to be applying the crown.

However,this morning, when I was brushing my teeth, the temporary popped off and though I tried to spit it into my hand, was nowhere to be found. Obviously down the drain. I was a little tired to actually think to close the drain first. Duh.

So tomorrow morning, it’s back to the dentist (for which I have no insurance) for another temporary crown. Oy vey!

I just happened to be looking at the INETA “Upcoming Speaking Engagements” page and was struck by the fact that there are SIX events tonight!

It’s also amazing to see events scheduled all the way through to the end of 2006. It’s definitely hard to plan that far ahead, though I do have some INETA talks already scheduled in September!

Beginning robotics for grades one-three -huh?

There was an article in the local paper about Computer Camps offered by the South Burlington School District this summer.

Maybe it’s because I don’t have kids, but I was definitely a surprise to see a robotics class for 6 year olds!

Here’s the whole list which sounds like a blast! (No pun intended wrt the rocket tech class 🙂 )
