Orthodontist

I mentioned a couple days ago Travis' new braces. We love where he goes and I just had to show it off...

This is not like the orthodontist of years past.. http://www.alizadehortho.com/

This is the coolest place, and I almost wish I had braces again so I could go there. Not only is there a movie theatre in the office, but all the chairs have tv's above them with a remote so you just sit there and flip through whatever you want while they tweak your wires! They have a little snack bar where you can have a cookie afterwards, and a fridge to grab a water or juice box.

They are very nice, so we aren't there just for the gadgets, but they know their stuff and have a top notch reputation around here....way cool stuff!

Politics

A new website that Paul sent me... www.realclearpolitics.com

It is a great site! Instead of trying to find all the articles and statistics regarding politico stuff..this place has all the links at your fingertips. Nifty.

Part of me is sick of it, and is ready to just ignore everything and go about my daily business, but then, if I did that...I'd look like an idiot at work when everyone is chatting about what the latest Republican gaffe was. I wouldn't want to look like an idiot, now would I?

So, check out the link, I think you'll like it....

5,980

What could this number represent?

How many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
How many smells Duke can smell when we are on a walk?
How many cherry tomatoes Travis could eat in one sitting if we didn't intervene. (you think I'm kidding?)
The cost of Travis' braces.


If you chose the braces answer, you win the prize!!! Please send donations in any amount in the interest of perfect teeth. They better be!!!

Yes, Travis got his braces on today, phase 2 and hopefully the final phase. These things are not cheap, and insurance just covers enough to be called a tease. Stunning, just stunning. But, we are going to the best place around here, and we are happy he is getting top notch fixing-up. But, wow... $5,980? Ouch...that hurts.
