trivial fact about me

I wear a plastic guard on my teeth ($400 something at your local dentist if you can imagine that) when I sleep because my dentist thinks I clench my teeth, cracking them. This little device, he says, is a "deprogrammer." Jeanie has always made fun of me for sleeping with my mouth open. I'm content to live with these contradictory truths.

I'm reminded of cartoon figures who clench their teeth so fiercely in rage that they shatter in a heep on the ground.
