Had a session with the dentist early this morning. My gum problems are not getting better despite my increased efforts with hygiene. Dentist indicated that at the next session (in 6 months) if there is further deterioration I might have to have some antibiotic treatments. It would not be as invasive as surgery nor would it be as costly. Not sure there is anything more I can do that is preventative. My mouth's flora just seems to be aggressive. The next three months will tell the tale.

I made it to the PD class this morning despite the dental interlude. I felt alright and we did some floor yoga. I came away from the session with a lot of face redness that continued to exhibit throughout the afternoon. Don't know if the flushing is related to blood pressure or anxiety. May have to schedule a doctor's visit to check things out.

Went to the H's for a movie tonight--Clerks. It is a film by the same director who did Chasing Amy. Clerks was not as good as Amy. It had some funny moments and some bold filming moves. There were really long takes jammed with intricate dialog. All in all, it's not a movie that draws me back to it.

I cashed out some of my IRA today to help underpin this year's budget. All of the turmoil in the Middle East is worrisome. Things in the world are shifting and chasing. Lots of uncertainty!

Got a copy of the PD dance celebration from last year. It is moving, especially the comments from the participants. I look terrible--old, bald, and tight-faced! I looked like I was moving smoothly though. Keep on moving!
