i read this in stereophile magazine while waiting in the doctor's office yesterday. it's a short read, and i think it applies to almost everything we do.

just passing it along.

Fabulous article...thanks, Todd! Hope all is well re: doctoring. I was dentist-ing yesterday. Does anyone else have to re-learn how to work their mouth after a teeth-cleaning? Laugh

Todd,

Fascinating. On several levels.

Lee, I genuflect in your general direction...amazing! You have chords of steel, plus must just shake off the after-effects of Novacaine. Wow...just wow...

I did cut it close on the Novacaine. As I started to drive to the studio my tongue was feeling a little like a tennis ball, but by the time I got there the effects had largely worn off and I was able to fake my way through the session.

"We have to tell them", indeed!

We must evangelize our own cause. Otherwise, who will?

I generally need two to three times the normal novacaine these days. I discovered this a few years ago during a morning cleaning that turned into a small repair. I had to postpone a voice session three hours later (last minute too as I was trying to beat and chew sense back into my tongue with no luck).

Now I schedule all my cleanings later in the day so all I have to worry about is dribbling soup.

IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU! I just registered www.dribblingsoup.com. Haha.

great article, thanks for the link Todd.

Last time I had a cavity filled I elected to forgo the Novocaine. It wasn't too bad since it was a fairly shallow cavity, but I think the dentist was upset at the permanent fingernail marks I left in his chair.

I finally read that - so true.

The last time I had dental work done, I had them replace several old fillings at once and didn't schedule any work for the day. I forgot that I'd have talk to my then 2 year old. She kept looking at me when I wold tell her, "Do you half phoo foof on the fotty?" (translation: do you have to poop on the potty)
