We made it to Minden, despite our best efforts. That was a joke. Laugh? We got a late jump, and a packed car. The four of us arrived and got luggage and food inside moments before we were hit with a torrential downpour. I thought I hadn’t packed a diabetes medication. Thankfully Marlo had put…

According to the internet, so it must be true, to eat with partials I should use my back teeth. Which I kinda figured out. And I should avoid ‘tougher’ meats. Like steak. Grilled on the barbecue. That I’ve been salivating about since Monday. That I’ve planned to partake of next week, at the cottage. Fuck…

Eating is an adventure. I wanted to take these babies for a test drive. Got wings. In retrospect, not the brightest idea. My dentures kept popping out. Eventually gave up and ate them without the bloody things. I think I need to crawl before I can walk.

A bit hyperbolic. But I definitely feel. Puffy. Fifty-four years in this skin suit, it expects teeth to keep it from sagging. Not that I’m sagging. But it feels. Puffy.

So I’m bringing the laptop with me this weekend. Turns out I can’t stand the idea of a period of time without writing. Whether it’s a play or a blog post. Naturally, the damned thing hasn’t run serious updates since March and is gonna take half the night to refresh. At least I can tether…
