Teeth, dammit

We're 91 days from the trip. It seems like time is flying by. As part of getting ready, I went to the dentist for the first time in over two years (did I mention that?). I discussed some of my issues and she recommended a crown on one of my teeth. I got the temporary a week ago. I have to admit it wasn't as terrible as I had feared, but the tooth just isn't much better. It's somewhat less sensitive to cold, but I can't chew on it at all now, where I could chew carefully on it before. I feel sure I'm going to have to have a root canal, but my confidence in dental professionals is waning fast. I can see having the root canal, and it still not being better, and thousands of dollars later (the crown was almost a thousand), I'll end up having my tooth extracted anyway. It's a back tooth, so it's not a cosmetic issue, but it's a chewer and I'd like to be able to continue eating solid food.

On other fronts, we still don't have a place to stay in London when we get there. My wife has been furiously looking at web sites. The problem is not finding someplace that we'll like, the problem is finding a place everyone will like. I think she's found several very nice places, we should just pick one and have done with it.

Nothing new

I don't really have anything new to report, but I felt like I needed to post something at least once a month. I've been looking for underwear for the trip. Exciting, huh? But ignore underwear at your peril when going on a trip where you're doing a lot of walking and sitting. I got one pair from REI that I really like, but they were on sale and when we went back for more, they were sold out. My wife wouldn't let me get more than one pair until I tried it, so now I have one pair. I guess I'm going to have to wash it in the sink every night.
