Bluetooth

K saw the orthodontist around lunchtime today, (emergency appointment). Turns out he had food stuck in the back of his teeth that could cause infection. So, we have to go to the regular dentist for a professional cleaning as the orthodontist doesn't have all the tools for that. Hopefully, K can figure out how to do a good job back there (flossing, etc.)

We made a simple breaded haddock for dinner with roasted vegetables, everyone loved it, and it's pretty quick too. K has decided he likes baked salmon, something healthy at last.

It's a busy week for appointments, K sees the dentist at lunchtime on Thursday for his cleaning, the doctor Thursday evening for his thyroid checkup, I see my blood pressure specialist on Friday morning. So I figure I better go to the hairdresser tomorrow to get my hair cut and coloured before the grey really starts showing. Hopefully I can make my Wednesday step class to say goodbye to the instructor who is moving out of town.

We got bluetooth wireless working in the car, and managed to add some phone numbers to the contact list by voice no less. The kids were giving me a hard time while we were doing that, and cracking up laughing at me talking to the voice. Anyway, it should be a handy feature once we get used to it. I notice the phone asks me to reconnect to the car whenever I turn the engine on.

The Amazing Race TV show was amazing last night. They are down to 3 finalists for the 'can't miss' 2 hour finale next Sunday. Hats off to the show's creative set up team. They think of interesting challenges that respectfully involve the culture of the cities they visit. What's interesting this season is that 2 of the remaining teams each consist of an older and younger partner. The third consists of a young couple that seem to keep their cool. It will be interesting to see if the young team prevails, or whether age and youth are a winning combination in the end.
