I've done it. I've become the stock image of a guy with an aching jaw radiating red. But I won't use that picture. I must simply draw the line somewhere.
Reminds me of this story Alexander Cockburn told about Noam Chomsky:
“Chomsky went to the dentist, who made his inspection and observed that the patient was grinding his teeth. Consultation with Mrs. Chomsky disclosed that teeth-grinding was not taking place during the hours of sleep. When else? They narrowed it down quickly enough to the period each morning when Chomsky was reading the New York Times, unconsciously gnashing his molars at every page.”
Same here, though only retirement cured it. Follow all recommendations regarding diet, exercise, self-care, etc - preferably the loopiest hippie advice you can get.

Timely-ish.
Sorry to hear. Hopefully you recover soon and well so you'll be able to put a DENT in ALL the projects you had planned.

Retirement, now that sounds like an idea.
God smites the part of a man that he uses and values the most.
Be well. The socialist end of the political spectrum needs you "up and ready".
Thank you!

Get well soon! Just read your latest article in The Walrus. Self-checkout alone is enough to get my teeth grinding!
Good luck!

The biz can be a grind and stress is hard on the body. Good vibes for your healing journey. Well done taking the time you need.
