Bikkies!







I got addicted to these "cookies" during my month in Australia. (People there call them biscuits, or bikkies.) They are fantastic! Every so often, my friends David and Glennie send me a little package from Oz... and I got one today! Thank you guys!



Happy durlx with Tim Tams, which were named
after the 1958 Kentucky Derby Winner



There was a package of the original and one of the Tim Tam White, which is also very good. I was dancing around the room yelping with happiness over my good fortune, when I was overcome with a strange impulse; I would give Robert one! (Usually, I snatch the package from the postman and look up and down the street to make sure no one saw it and then keep them all for myself.) Robert seemed to enjoy his Tim Tam and I had this wonderful feeling of having shared something precious. I thought about offering him another one, but, well there are limits...

Well, I just moments ago discovered that the original Tim Tams are being test marketed in California under the name "Double Trouble"! I am so excited! (Although I hate that name.) Those of you in California; buy them, write to Arnott's and tell them how much you love them. Make this test marketing a big success! Please. I can't live without them.




Yesterday, I went to the dentist. I no longer have the lousy dental insurance that came with my last job, so I was able to go back to the dentist that I like. He has an office with a glass wall on the 14th floor, he plays nice classical music and murmers reasuringly as he works. I love this dentist. I have had bad experiences with dentists in the past; filings that don't stay in, bad root canals, etc. This guy is good, not too expensive and everyone in the office is pleasant. I'm so glad I decided to go back to him.



I've mentioned Noah before in this journal. He's going through some weird health problems right now and could use your good wishes and thoughts.
