So two glasses of red wine. No dinner because of class. I'm good. Really good. But I still didn't talk much. But I showed up. My motivation was that I wouldn't get all of the 'in' jokes if I didn't attend.

Hygenist: "You need to floss or else you will get cavities between your teeth, and you'll get gum disease.
Me: "I just never remember to. My mother never got me into the habit."
Dentist (later): "You have perfect teeth. Never a cavity. Strongest enamel I've seen in a while. Keep it up!"

Since I'm rather buzzing, I can talk about ditzy type things and get away with it. So I chatted with Kevin last night on ICQ. He is a long time ICQ friend. He saw me once playing pool in a pub , recognized me from a photo, but we've never actually met; just telephone and ICQ. Anyhow, I was disappointed that he didn't call me up when he was in town for his grad. He didn't think I had the same phone number. ANYHOW, he told me things that nobody's ever said to me before. Completely honest. I feel very strongly for him, though it's more of a brother-type love. The brother I never had. But it's also something more.

There are three provinces between us.

On my way out this morning, the hot tractor driver asked if I had a key to a certain barn. As we wandered over together he asked about where I was going. It will never get old, telling people that I do stemcell research. Maybe he's got friends that will be around.
