Hey Ron,

I happen to like my dentist very much. He loves his work, keeps up with the latest advances in the field, cares about his patients, and inevitably carries on a highly entertaining monologue while my mouth is full of instruments (dental--not musical). The last time I was in for a cleaning he talked nonstop about all the Grateful Dead concerts he attended while he was in dental school, and he described the antics of the Deadheads. I received a full education about the rituals of that particular subculture. What a hoot. All that and clean teeth too. Such a deal!
