Another visit to the dentist. While he taught me how to clean the various inflamed corners with a new fangled type of floss, the news on the radio were on reporting about a massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan. We both stopped, speechless, me with my mouth wide open and floss stuck underneath my tooth.
I once was in the midst of gum surgery when the building started to sway from an earthquake. The dentist, apron spattered with my blood and I stepped into the hallway like a pair of untethered horses.
