NOTE: The dental procedures have begun, and as George S Patton once said, no plan survives first contact with the enemy. In literally the first minute, the decision was made to change directions and try something else first. Already the planned procedures have changed. So literally I have no idea what will happen next or when, except that it will not be before February of 2023. Thank you for the encouragements and messages. I really appreciate them.

One of the the things that I hate about being a modern person is that we are so skeptical of history. Today, we are constantly revising it, reviewing it, re-interpreting it. In fact, we are willfully forgetting it.

The stories told for untold generations are being replaced, not with the old ideas, reinforced by old legends and myths, but new ideas, underpinned by opinion and theory.

The power of the story of the past could restore many of those things, but it is being abandoned. Like the reason that I hate being in a Dentist chair goes back near on to three-thousand years..
