2/21: keeping an appointment

I am not always good about working "real-life" appointments into my semester calendar. Usually I try to cram all sorts of doctor visits and similar things into breaks and the summer. But sometimes I can't, and today I managed to make it to the dentist for my semi-annual check-up and cleaning. Sounds prosaic, I know, but it's definitely a good thing.

(I should add that having dental insurance is also a good thing, not to be overlooked or taken for granted!)
