My dentist is retiring. This is not a good thing. I’ve been going to see him and his hygienist for decades. I do love going there also because it’s in my favorite little down right on Main Street. And I feel they took excellent care of my choppers. I’m not a fan of dentist/doctors, but these things made it a breeze.

Also, he is one of my favorite neighbors and has been for decades. So, a salute to my wonderful dentist Dr. Bob and his hygienist Dawn. Both have decided to retire and I’m very happy for each of them.

I believe in his post in FaceBook he indicated that he was the last of 6 dentists to occupy that same spot on Main Street in Ellicott City since 1900.

The green arch under the flag next to the Wine Bin is the entrance to DDS Robert Boman. Thanks again Bob.

This getting old stuff isn’t going to be easy. They shell that carries around this twisted mind is feeling its age and in need of some maintenance and a change in style. I’m adjusting daily expectations and cutting back on how many hard physical things I do in a day.

No more working for hours straight or all day with just short breaks. I also need to slow the pace and be more deliberate. Slower down the stairs or hilly ground to reduce fall risks. To think before lifting something with the question, should I? Lots of little things that if I’m smart will allow me to keep upright and active.

At the same time, I’m going to increase my work on the things that are important to me. Speaking of which, I need to go charge another battery for today’s shooting.


Random Thoughts of the Morning

  • Just saw another beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic from Ocean City. Too bad it was on a webcam. And it only lasted about 3 minutes before going behind clouds. But I SAW IT. Great way to start a day.
  • Try to make the best of life. That way when you get older the time you spend saying “I should have done this or that” will be at a minimum.
  • I hope the 3 days of rain we are going to get help solve this drought we have been in.
  • I was surprised by a friend’s news yesterday. It was a big decision for him. It probably is the right one for him.
  • Not getting all the sleep I need but I’m working on it.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
