TN vacation – day 1
September 4, 2011 We left the house at 11am, on the dot, and arrived at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Clinton, SC, around 9pm. It was a long day. The kids were mostly good, on par with what I expected given their ages and personalities. We stopped at several rest areas along the way [...]

I spent a fair amount of time recently creating a few custom ringtones based on audio from Arrested Development. There has to be an easier way than what I went through.

I have very high expectations that this will solve my “face pressure” problem that I’ve been whining about for close to four months now. If not… well… at least I’ll have plenty of blog material.

I’m being fitted for oral splints next Thursday at 3pm. With a little bit of luck and a lot of money, hopefully this four month ordeal will be behind me by next weekend.

See this entry and this follow-up for some context. I visited with a maxillofacial guy on Wednesday and learned a few things. Most importantly, I’m not going crazy. They did a a lot more nodding-and-agreeing than frowning and brow-furrowing, which was a relief. The doctor did his poking and prodding and listening and questioning, with [...]
