Well, I've been crowned--so's am I royalty? Nyuk nyuk nyuk! Actually just two of my teeth received their finely-wrought ceramic-noble metal crowns, with a bridge of similar composition soldered in between them. It's nice to be able to crunch on both sides of my mouth after months of limitations. My only complaint, other than the expense--which came at an inconvenient time--is that the necessary modified flossing, with a doodad for inserting the floss under the bridge, hasn't come easily for my clumsy fingers.

And now it's St. Urho's Day.
