Mark,

Personally, I like diamonds. My husband (like you) likes baseball. I'm sure he thinks that a good compromise is for us to watch a game played on a baseball diamond! And yes, I think the Red Sox should find another home for Manny.

Regarding your follow-up visits -- if I were in your position, I would want someone other than an OB-GYN looking down my throat. Even after all these years, I still have checkups twice a year with my medical oncologist, once a year with my radiation oncologist, and twice a year with a periodontist, all of whom are very skilled in watching for any mouth-related issues.
