Today, to illustrate this week’s Photo Challenge Theme (“Contrasts”), self decided to focus on PAIRS.
Self and The Man, a Year or Two After They Were Married, a Year Before Son Was Born
Once upon a time. self had two little beagles, and their names were Bella and Gracie: Gracie, the younger, died first, in 2011. Bell reached the great old age of 17 dog years, and died last October.
Classic: The Man took this picture of Self at the San Diego Zoo. She was 22 or 23.

Self has a dentist appointment, later today. She is not at all looking forward to the prospect.
This morning, she checks in on Eunoia Review and what does she see?
A poem about dentists.
How’s that for synchronicity, dear blog readers?
Here’s the first half:
Inheritance
by Katherine La Mantia
The dentist showed me
the x-rays where the
radiation lit up my teeth
like strings of lights at Christmas.
can you imagine how
marie curie glowed
And she pointed with
her pen tap-tapping
on my molar
or bicuspid, I don’t know.
the metal rings shrill
hammer on enamelShe showed me where
she would put metal brackets
and metal wires
and how she would
pull
What a beautiful name. The poet has. Katherine La Mantia.
Katherine La Mantia is an undergraduate at the University of Georgia.
Stay tuned.
