It would be unfortunate...

to have a toothache on one's birthday, but that seems likely for R. On the other hand, it's just as well that he doesn't treat it like we saw on Cast Away a couple of nights ago (but then he can't find his ice skates anyway, and we have no coconuts). His dentist is no longer available, due to sad circumstances, but perhaps he can see mine. I hope we manage to make his birthday fun regardless.
