My applications for grad school are in and the teaching is going pretty well (though I am getting bored with it again). I just started working more hours and was in a position to start saving some money but it turns out that I need a root canal, which the temporary Massachusetts healthcare does not cover. It does cover an extraction, but no implant or anything and as I am in a face-to-face business, I can't afford to be missing a tooth, even if the state says I can. As for the ladies . . . well . . . I have to say that I am not a fan of internet dating, though I can see why people do it. I've met some women I've thought were attractive enough, but no real chemistry so far. There seems to be a whole lot of fear in Boston's dating scene and it's kind of bumming me out, to be honest. I'm hoping that all the groundwork I've been doing since moving back to Boston will start to pay off, but if not, I'll just have to come up with a plan B (again)!
If life's plans took you in a straight line, it wouldn't be worth it. But I understand the need to be in a place where having a good dental plan is part of the equation. Also, not having teeth would make the dating scene even more distrustful of you. There's nothing more disconcerting to a young lady than a toothless, nomadic poet. You'll be fine though. You're 10x smarter than I ever was, better looking (damn you) and you seem pretty ambitious for an artist. I see good things in your future...but if not, I'll just have to come up with a plan B (again)!
First of all, I hope to know you for many years. Secondly, if in 10 years you aren't at least on plan "Q," I'll be disappointed. I fully plan to be on plan "J" by the end of next year.
