Dorje has started to show an interest in dentistry.<\/p>\n

But first, a game we play. My lounge is a big open area where I can practise tai chi, dance and run around with Dorje when we’re too lazy to head to the field across the road.<\/p>\n

We were playing a game where the aim is to get the ball to a target behind the other player (a couch, or part of the wall). The game has been made lounge-proof over the years. We use a soft ball. There’s not too many things left to break in the lounge.<\/p>\n

In the midst of an epic game, 16-15, Dorje started to show his interest in dentistry. He did this by rearranging my mouth with his bat as we both scrambled for the ball.<\/p>\n

Well, except for the youthful skin that is.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to get a chance to go the dentist until at least next week, though I’m due for another visit anyhow. It’s amazing how fast the decade has passed.<\/p>\n

So I’ll have lots of time to decide if I like the new look.<\/p>\n
