Open Wide

I was all set to write about the Mitchell report and the scourge of steroids on Major league baseball. You know what they say about best laid plans. Instead of writing first thing this morning, I went to an appointment that has ruined the rest of my day and changed the focus of today's posting.

After a four year hiatus, I went to the dentist this morning. I was experiencing a little pain, so I thought I should have it checked out because as you know, tooth pain is as high on the pain scale as having to listen to that "dog barking Jingle Bells" Christmas record. Today's visit consisted of X-rays, and a thorough cleaning. Sounds simple right? My mouth now hurts more than it did before I went to the office. I can't focus on anything else and my head is about to explode. It's making writing damn near impossible, but I do it anyway. Why?

Well, so I can remind you to listen to the big show tomorrow night/Sunday morning on WGN. Seriously, I have to go hunt my dentist down and knee him in the unmentionables. I think then we'll be even. Have a great weekend. Later...Brian
