   I had an infected #15 for a year after the dentist tried to do a root canal and couldn’t find the lower (upper) three roots. He took out the connection near the top (bottom) of the tooth and two of the nerves died, which was why it didn’t hurt. Last month another dentist finished the job, and the permanent crown will be in the new year. Once in a while that nerve did flare up, but I’d thought it had been my gums. It seems my upper teeth keep giving me trouble, while the lower ones don’t.

   I bought a small tree for my bedroom window right before Christmas of 1970. This is its 55th Christmas. I put blinking 7 Watts lights on it. Since 1970, I’ve replaced the garland twice and just recently had to replace the light string, which became too worm. With the same balls and blinking lights, it still has that psychedelic effect. It also takes me back to 1970, when my world consisted of school and my paper route. I didn’t care what Nixon was doing.

   I usually had a job in Saturdays. I never went to a football game in over eight years. I did see Joe Paterno twice.

   I never brought laundry. In fact, I used to launder on Friday nights. The place was nearly deserted in State College the years I was at Penn State.

   I take the mower on the earlier leaves to fertilize the lawns. Then I take most of the rest and put them on my garden after I dig it up.

   In my case, the top ones never showed and the bottom ones were impacted. When I was 42, the dentist told me that they would become problematic as the jaw tends to flatten with age, so I had all four removed at once.
