GD, I feel your pain. I, too spent way too many years ignoring the dentist and wound up having to undergo some major work - mostly extractions and crowns. Like you, my gums are basically healthy so none of that creepy surgery, but still...

In my own little universe, I'm coming to terms with the fact that my "allergies" are perhaps actually a crappy cold. In a way, it's bad because now I'm officially "sick". On the other hand, colds tend to wind down, while allergies can rage on through the season, so there's a little solace there.

I am sitting at my desk at work right now, hoping that we'll close the office early today so I can get home and continue editing the weekend Special Edition MousePod. I've listened to the first 2 official Disneyland podcasts and was a little underwhelmed by the perspective offered there. For example, without a real Disney POV, there was absolutely no way to communicate how cool the fireworks are and why so many hardcore fans are coming away from the display with tears in their eyes. Luckily, some amazing people from right here (you know who you are) phoned in their impressions of the 5th to my hotline and I have them all saved on my hard drive. Sometime tomorrow, I'll finish a very special show that features more of your voices than mine. (By the way, the Hotline is still open and will remain open at least all summer, so feel free to call anytime with Disney feedback and/or comments - especially if you're "on the scene")

I know I'm probably repeating myself, but the LoT community never stops amazing me. You are such wonderful people - I'm so so happy that I was invited in.
