Stu and I

For some time now, students have been happy to point out the fact that they think I bear a resemblance to Stu from the movie "The Hangover".  I have yet to see the entire movie, but have seen so many scenes from it that I really don't think I need to.

When I was eight or so, I flipped while balancing on the top of some monkey bars on a playground.  I cracked my tooth and, to this day, I have a fake tooth bolted to the root of my original tooth. The bolt has held up pretty well for over 30 years, but the fake enamel wears away faster my real teeth.  The year before I got married, my dentist fixed up the corner of the tooth so I would look sharp for the wedding pictures.

We were out eating some lobster at a dim sum place over the holidays and I lost that chip, so now everyone at school thinks I recently chipped my tooth.

 

"How did it happen?" I just tell them "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."

No plans to get it fixed, - I think it will look good with the monocle!
