An Interesting Team of Dentists
Jenny McCarthy, Oprah Winfrey and policeman were my dentists. I had to have an emergency appointment. We weren't in a dental office, we were somewhere outdoors on Santa Monica Blvd. in West L.A. Jenny was scraping stuff off my teeth while Oprah acted as her assistant. At one point the policeman had to put those little foam tubes into my mouth. They were yellow and looked like ear plugs. I was gagging as he put them in. He was getting impatient. Oprah kept cheering me on. Jenny told me there was a patch of white on my bottom tooth that I'd have to get checked out by another dentist.

Bar Reunion
I was in the Oakland/Berkeley area having lunch with an old friend (Terry) from graduate school, when I thought I noticed another friend (Cathy). I finally realized it was her, just as I caught a glimpse of her son who was peering at me through the bar. He yelled at his mom, "I think I see your old roommate" and I stood up and joined Cathy around the corner of the bar.
We hugged hello and it turned out she had 4 kids, all boys. The one who spotted me, joined us and was explaining how he recognized me. Slowly the other three came around. They were all really cute. Two were from her first marriage and two were from her second. One of them asked her to check his diaper, even though he was too old for a diaper. She went along with him anyway and pulled back his shorts. This seemed to be an inside joke because they were both laughing.
We were trying to figure out the last time we spoke and I said something like, "You're not on 'the book'", meaning Facebook. She said life had been really hard and that she'd divorced her first husband and then eventually married again and had two more kids. She walked me back to the bar to meet her new husband. He was cute, young and friendly. We shook hands and then I walked back to the original area. I was telling her that maybe now was the time for our tv show that we'd come up with when we were roommates. I told her about a promo for a new show I'd seen called "Black-ish", and she agreed now might be the time.
