I’m heading out shortly to start the final phase of a tooth implant; the surgeon has to give the OK, then I’ll get a crown to finish it in a week or so.

I will see my primary care nurse, Amy Eldridge, early this afternoon.

She’s moving on, and I’ll miss her. She’s guided me through some exciting times.

After breakfast, I went out for my morning meeting with Zip; he was waiting on the chair where we usually meet. It’s getting cold; we’ll have to move to the barn soon; it’s warmer there.

It’s been cold this week and warming up this weekend.

We’re going to the Mass MOCA museum in North Adams, Mass., Saturday night to see some dancing. Friday is my Mansion Meditation Class and the final preparations for next week’s “Ugly” sweater Christmas party.

I love to see dancing, and Maria is a dancer now. I’m looking forward to it.

More later.
