Birthday Boy

Had my first root canal on Thursday. There was no pain associated with the procedure and I was wondering where the reputation comes from. I've since been told that there isn't necessarily pain with the procedure but that people are often motivated to go to the dentist by severe pain and the relief is root canal. Fortunately that was not my case.

Thursday afternoon I began to feel residual pain from the procedure and popped a Naprosin. That and some light drinking in the evening seemed to banish the pain.

Pfizer sponsored an after work team building party at Slate in the Flat Iron district to stem the rash of consultant resignations . It was fun but I doubt it will have the desired effect.

Went to Harbor View to visit my mom on Saturday. She didn't remember that it was my birthday and when K said that it was she didn't wish me happy birthday. This was not a good day for her mentally. She told me that she had taken trips that day and the day before. The Friday trip was to Fairmount. I did get a call later Saturday with birthday greetings.

Spent a good part of the day moving out the entertainment system in the living room and prepping the wall to be painted. We’ll be putting up wall shelves in an effort to open up space.
K and C created a great dinner - leg of lamb with an angel food cake chaser.
