Omni William Penn Hotel

(e:joe) and I are heading to Pittsburgh tomorrow for his sister's birthday. (e:terry) can't make it because he is sadly stuck in tax mire. I never stayed at an omni and really wanted to stay at the Omni William Penn

in downtime PA because it looks exactly like the statler on the outside but seems totally remodeled.

All the statler hotels look similar

This one was built in 1940 versus ours which was built in 1907. I also stayed at Hotel Pennsylania in New York with my tortoise Sahara in 1996. Our train was damaged traveling between South Carolina and New York, so they put us up there. I never realized till now that it was so much like the Statler. I remember thinking the inside lobby was so fancy at the time.

Here are pics from the Pittsburgh one, lets hope it lives up to the name.

Happy St Patricks Day

The parade was fun although cold. At least it was sunny and nice to have all the people around as blanket, kind of like a flock of penguins.

Despite all of the mega freakin tooth pain, I managed to have fun. I don't know how I am going to make it till April 11th if the pain is like this the whole time. (E:joe) asked if I needed anything, to which I responded, 'yes, a gun for my face.". Its really almost totally unbearable pain that you can't ignore.

Gluten Free Beer

I bought so many gluten free beers. I'm not sure why but I think all the years of avoiding gluten with (e:Matthew) lessened my ability to digest it. Anyways, they have really come a long way since the sorghum, rice beers. These new ones are just regular beer with all the gluten removed. Kind of like the lactaid milk of beer.

Washington Market

Went to Washington Market with (e:heidi) and (e:terry) for lunch. They really stepped it up with a new chef. The fish with rice was amazing. (e:heidi) really enjoyed her vegetarian lunch of stiffed peppers with quinoa and avacados as well.

Chewing on the side with the root canal is all zing and wonk. I can't wait for this to be over by next month.

Fuck You Dr. Shaky Hands

You fucked up everything you have done to me. From the filling I had to get touched up twice, to the adding space for me to floss easier which lead to the root canal you totally fucked up.

I complained several times over the last year about the pain from the root canal tooth and you kept saying it had to "settle down". At the same time the infection from the nerve canal you missed and which turned the nerve into a "mushy mass of infection" that leaked out the bottom of my tooth and into my jaw bone.

Today after an hour and a half of non stop drilling, an endodontist hopefully corrected most of that. For the next several weeks I will have a temporary filling and roots packed with medication.
Then I go back for one last root canal/clean out in that tooth followed by getting a fucking filling to cap the the expensive zirconia crown that is now just a piece of crap.

I hate you. Luckily the endodontist works for the same group and the retreatment was paid for by the company

Taste of Paradise At The Botanical Gardens

Sounds like a fun night of good food and good drinks in a warm and humid environment. I could use that right about now.

My Chinese Name - hǎng 狼

Do you ever notice how foreign people tend to pick an american name. I decided that I want a foreign name. My new name is hǎng which means wolf in Mandarin. You can call me hǎng or just use my symbol if its more convenient 狼.

You can now use UTF-8 in your blog if you want. Accidentally, I had the db tables set to latin still.
