I had a little visit with Dr Ozcan and his wonderful staff on Friday morning to have a wisdom tooth and a mis behaving molar removed against their will. Pretty cool stuff; they put you out, get 'er done and a half hour later you make up, feeling pretty buzzy with a mouth full of cotton. Aside from not getting to keep the cool goggles they give your to wear, here are Mike's top five other things I learned after my dental surgery on Friday.
#5. After coming out of an anesthetic a person is more greatly affected by Earth's gravitational forces.
#4. Love it when when my brother phones every 20 minutes from Calgary just remind me how much of a wimp I am.
#3. Not having anything to eat or drink for 12 hours before surgery is only made slightly more unbearable if the office Tim Horton's order arrives just before you go under.
#2. Lying on the couch all day is not as fun as you'd think if all you get to eat is yogurt and broth.
#1. Disappointing to find out afterward that, apparently, 48 years old is the cut off for the Tooth Fairy.

I was reading that Danny Bonaduce is teaching classes in L.A. on how to be a morning radio star! Maybe you thinking about signing up. Maybe you are destined to become a morning radio DJ (maybe not). Mike's top five signs you are destined to become a morning radio star.
#5. Your default home page is Perez Hilton, TMZ or MSN's weird News of The Day.
#4. By about 2 in the afternoon you find yourself groggy and in need of a nap.
#3. You've seen Howard Stern's movie Private Parts, so you already know exactly how everything works in radio.
#2. You have a good head for math. “2 double double, 1 single double, 1 double single, 3 toasted everything, 2 with cream cheese, 1 plain with 2 margarine on the side.”
#1. Insatiable appetite for lunch and dinner foods around 7 o'clock in the morning.

I went fishing at Ferguson Lake this weekend and actually caught a fish! Usually I'm way into September before I even get a bite! There were a few issues however. Mike's top five problems with the whole family going fishing.
#5. Mom, making everyone wash their hands EVERY TIME they touch something gross.
#4. Your eight year old wearing a leach mustache.
#3. Realizing you've been fishing for over an hour and you haven't gotten around to putting your own hook on yet!
#2. The kids constantly giggling every time you say “pass me the Wholly Bugger”.
#1. The kids letting everyone with in shouting distance know. That's the first time you've ever caught a fish that was actually bigger than your bait!
