And Other Bad Words
It snowed today.
Well, they were really flurries but still, it snowed today. I believe that this is the earliest snow I have ever seen in southern New England.

i have flossed very regularly since my previous dental cleaning six months ago – at least twice a week, every week. I have never flossed regularly before. I always brush, but I never really flossed because I was lazy.
I had another cleaning today, and for the first time ever my teeth don’t feel funny.
I rate this experience 9/10, will floss again.
