What do I have in common with Jon Bon Jovi? I mean other than the obvious. Of course, we are both incredibly handsome, talented, wealthy, and extremely masculine men. That goes without saying! But it felt good to say it anyway. We all have our little fantasies!
But I do have something else in common with Jon. It is something neither of us, I’m sure, is very excited about. Nor is it something that either of us really want the public to be aware of. But here I am writing about it anyway. Writing this blog has been very therapeutic.
I’ve kept you is suspense long enough! Well, just a little longer. I also share this with Ben Affleck and Nicholas Cage. Two more handsome, virile, talented, and rich men. Perhaps we should form a club! Have you guessed it yet? It’s dentures!
Actually, today I have my own teeth. But this Friday, that will no longer be true. Only the bottom half will be mine. I am getting immediate upper dentures. I am scared. I an worried. I am feeling old. I come from a family of bad teeth. I have had more root canals than you can imagine. My teeth are more filling than real tooth. It’s time for this to happen.
If I truly were as wealthy as Jon Bon Jovi, I would be getting the dentures that are screwed into your jaw bone, the ones you never remove. Alas, mine will be the ones you take out at night. I tend to be a rule follower, but if I happen to have a woman staying overnight with me, those choppers are staying in!!
So Friday is the day I have been dreading for years. I am not working the following week (some vacation!) just to get used to speaking and eating and making sure they don’t unexpectedly fall out. Please keep me in your thoughts Friday. I know I will be Livin’ On a Prayer!
