Lisa,

It's great to hear your warm fuzzy stories about dentists. Does my heart good. I've read so many negative stories here. No plans to retire to Florida as I love skiing too much and my kids and grandkids live in NJ.

Eileen,

Hope things continue to go well with your dental treatment. People's fears of dentists usually come from a previous bad experience. Hard for someone to understand that never had one. You are lucky. BTW got off an email to try to get train info for you for the NYC walkathon.

Meredith,

Many years ago we switched from x-mas cards to Thanksgiving cards. Out entire front desk area gets plastered with with cards and it gives us a jump start on the holiday season.

Good luck on the colonoscopy.

Had some good news myself this week. Had my first annual chest x-ray and all was clear. Today is the first anniversary of my biopsy. Hard to believe.

PS Meredith - - The first trip my wife and I are planning after retirement (about 4 years) will be to Australia. Hope we can hook up.
