I guess people usually get broken teeth in fights, or running into doors. I was eating a potato chip, and a huge filling and part of a tooth moved from their proper place. And a few days before that, I was just standing around, and a part of the tooth on the other side on the bottom back decided to depart from unity. Chewing with the front teeth is an art, as they have gotten used to biting off things and passing them back. About 15 years ago, I needed help in Kenya and found Dr. Vinayak with Hollye Conway's help, and he did a temporary. This time he talked me into renewing my mouth with silver and other amalgamated metals. I will be shinier than ever. I do think that was the longest grind time I have ever experienced with my mouth wide open. Then the nurse took me away for measurements, which entailed her pressing some gummy material over both top and bottom teeth with as much strength as she could muster. Not only that, but she kept punching something down on the ground-out areas with vigor as the feeling was coming back in my badly numb and misshapen mouth. Darlene decided not to kiss me when she saw me; she didn't think she could form her lips that way.
And here is Darlene last week with the staff at Java House singing "Happy Birthday" to her. Francis Ndungu, on the left next to Darlene and a former student of ours, made the cappuccino. We had a good day together, and we had lunch with Tony Mauldin as well.

Good morning, how are you?
My name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because through them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are very small countries with very few population, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this, I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Kenya? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Kenya in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally, I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
