Old Friends

Richard T started with Pfizer CIG on Monday. He had worked with Vladimir on the CCP project back in the days of Thirst. Richard is a friendly cerebral type. We had lunch once or twice before. Funny that he, Vladimir, and myself would go our separate ways only to re-converge a year or two later. It is a small world.

Had dinner with Randy F on Tuesday. We met at a restaurant called Taboon not far from Roosevelt Hospital. We sat at the bar for an hour but when we decided to eat there were no tables available so we moved on. I would like to try the food sometime - Mediterranean cuisine.
We ate at a new age burger joint and Randy told me that there is a new love named Elizabeth. It was great to hear positive forward looking talk of their relationship. The talk of Eileen was always so futile and frustrating for him.

It was back to the dentist on Wednesday. Unfortunately my mouth had not self adjusted to the protruding crown so he ground off some of the tooth above. I said that I hadn’t expected him to grind real tooth and he assured me that it was only filling but I’m still not OK with the idea. In the end, my mouth feels fine and everything works as expected.

Dr. Patlut ended the appointment by exploring for more work with probes and x-rays. He found a molar that was mostly amalgam and suggested that it be capped. I’m not ready for that and when more work becomes necessary will look for another dentist.

That afternoon Fred K took the Relational Concepts consultants to a holiday lunch at The Rio Grande. A very nice time and a box of chocolates!
