There are other outlets now. You don’t want to know. Yet or maybe ever.

The major news locally is dental pain, fairly severe at times over the last 24 hours. I have a routine cleaning appointment early in the week, and I advised them of the situation. Treating with Genexa Acetaminophen in maximum safe dosage. Historically it may fade away before the appointment and here’s hoping. It’ll be a long damn weekend otherwise.

Or. Maybe it will be anyway.

I was a poet once. A fragment came back to me through the pain haze:

“First I want to shake you, awake you, set you straight”

It’s easy to see from that much that it has been a deep impulse in me, all my life.

I get that it sometimes strikes you as arrogance, or like I’m trying to be “the smartest man in the room”.

I don’t think so. But: oh well.
