Dentistry postponed

I realized about noon that I hadn't gotten a confirmation call from the dentist's office, so I called them. They seemed surprised. No, they did not have me down for 2pm. But they can fit me in tomorrow afternoon. I said fine.

This is the second time they've misplaced my appointment. hmph. Looks like I am going to have to have Words with the receptionist.

To cable, or not to cable?

Just got a bill from Comcast, so I need to call and browbeat them into not sending me any more bills. Or I could let them coax me into becoming a customer again.

On the "stay away" side, we have the expense, the general evil of monopolies, and the specific evil that is Comcast. Also, Netflix and next-day online rebroadcasts.

On the "go back" side, we have my Thursday night conversations with b2 and the delights of channel-flipping.
