Dear Pam,

I am always happy to hear from you.

Sorry about the pain with your teeth.
Teeth are so important and the government should be more generous.

About 3 years before I turned 40, when someone asked my age, I said I was 40. I thought of myself as already 40. Then when I really turned 40, it was no big deal.

But, I got totally confused about my age. Now when someone asks me how old I am (like when I first saw my tdoc), I give them the year of my birth and tell them to do the math.

I guess this sounds silly.

Mostly I sympathize and wish you had money for the things you want.



I hope that today goes well for you.

Mari
