Met my new dentist today; I think he's about 17, wanted so badly to call
him "Skippy". This is a very old group practice and three of the
dentists (in their 70s.)have retired or announced potential retirement
this year. I told "Skippy" that dentists and gynecologists are the
hardest to replace. ;-)
