Life is never dull at the Maven residence

Well, let’s see what’s going on: I got a job offer that eclipses the one I was actually angling for, and have accepted- thanks LC!; Natacha’s father is arriving tomorrow from Cotonou, Benin, Africa where he was the mayor. He doesn’t speak much English, my French dates back to high school and Natacha is busy with work and the TMCC mini semester which starts while Dad is here for three weeks. If the maven&meddler isn’t quite as content rich as usual, I hope you’ll understand.

Here's your best tip on a new dentist

My dentist of many years, Dr. Pat France, has moved recently from his old digs Arlington and Plumas to new offices at 3631 Warren Way, Reno.

Painless Pat as I’ve called him for years, is a wonderful dentist, fine human being and a good friend. Hey, he did get me over my longstanding fear of dental work. I’d let him do anything now and not even give it a second thought. Even better, his office staff on longtime employees are warm and genuinely helpful and friendly. They are not the ‘gatekeepers’ you’ll find in other medical offices. Mary, Dr. Pats’ scheduler is a real sweetie.

In addition to myself, he has treated many friends and family members that I have referred to him …. and they are still with him years later.

I wholeheartedly recommend that if you are looking for a dentist, give Dr. Pat a try. BTW: I also posted this to Angie’s List, the Nevada Chapter which is now up and running …and now accepting medical provider reviews. Support Angie’s List.
