This fall TV season has been the worst I can recall. I'm judging this simply on the new-new shows, not returning shows. The only new show that I really like is "Fast Forward" although it does drag a bit. I also like "Stargate: Universe". I have to watch that on the web, which I find annoying. Even though the effective screen size on my laptop directly in front of me is larger than the TV on the other side of the room, it feels smaller. And I hate listening with ear buds, but the laptop speakers are too soft.

New shows I've been watching:
Three Rivers (C+)
Accidentally on Purpose (C+)
Good Wife, The (B+)
Melrose Place (B+)
Sherri (B)
Mercy (B)
Hank (D)
Middle, The (C)

On Fathers Day we went to a Japanese restaurant and I had salmon terriaki. I had some restaurant coupons that were expiring soon so I went to one place on Wednesday and had crab cakes. The next day at another restaurant I had coconut shrimp. On Friday, I went to a funeral and back at the house they had lox and tuna salad. Saturday I went to a graduation party and had sushi.

At the house after the funeral the parking was tight and I tapped the bumper of the guy behind me. He was watching out his window and called the police. The officer let us make a deal and I paid the guy a little for the scratch that might have been there before. So, the money I saved by using the coupons was negated.

It's only a little. About the weight of one molar. It's been cracked for a couple years and kept getting infected. So it was extracted today.

The actual extraction was painless. I'm now waiting for the novacaine to wear off. I have a long list of post-procedure instructions and possible complications to worry about.

Theoretically, I'll get an implant to replace the tooth. I don't know if there is any reason not to do that, except for the cost.

The tooth had had a root canal and a crown a few years ago. I don't know if the dentist might have weakened the tooth more than he should have. I wonder if all the money for that was wasted.
