Something So Mundane As Flossing

   There is so much to consider every day. Sometimes there are huge life changing decisions to be made and followed through on. Let's move, let's have a baby, let's go porgy fishing. At any moment, your life can be irrevocably changed in so many ways.
    Certain things in the face of change should stay the same. No matter what is happening, we can't neglect good dental hygiene. I went though a wistful period in my life. I thought, brush once a day in the morning ...ah the hell with it, what difference does it make? That once a day brushing, no regular visits to the dentist, and I was too wistful to floss.
   After a while we enter a new period of life. A trip to the dentist for a throbbing agony. "Yoiks man!" he says, "You haven't been flossing have you, Dave?"  "No matter, my yacht needs a new propellor." he says.
    I paid for the propeller, and it's a big yacht. Don't be a fool like me. Floss; it's a verb.
