ONE AND DONE BUCKET LIST IN THE BIG APPLE
Being a Tourist in Your Own City
The Circle Line
Yes, you get to circle the island. This is one and done but at least you get to see uptown, downtown, westside, eastside and all around. The multiple bridges seem a lot bigger when you go under them.
Central Park Carousel
And actually ride on it. If you grew up here as a kid you were on it but even as an adult it's fun. Round and round you go and make sure to ride a horse that goes up and down. No slackers allowed.
Tourists come to New York to see the sights. You being a New Yorker do not have to travel. Fortunately, or not most of these sights are one and done. Once you’ve seen them you can rest assure, they will remain in your subconscious forever.
A walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
The Statue of Liberty
And then you’re in Brooklyn and then back and you’re in Manhattan. When the bridge originally opened for almost all New Yorkers this was the highest height above ground they had ever been. In Tarzan comes to New York, Johnny Weissmuller the original and best Tarzan supposedly jumped off it for a swim.
C’mon, you’re a New Yorker and you haven’t been to the green lady? Back in the day you climbed the spiral staircase in an ant line to finally view out the tiny windows in her crown. There was a time when a park ranger would take you up the arm and you could view out from the torch. Today, forget about it. After Lady Liberty the boat will ferry you to Ellis Island where you can see how many arrived to the Big Apple. Both of my grandfathers came into America by this venue.
The Roosevelt Island Tram
Did you even know there is a Roosevelt Island? There it is on the Upper East Side residing on the East River which is not really a river but a tidal water estuary meaning the water flows in both directions every day. It’s always coming and going.
Empire State building
The first and the original. Go up and check out the view. A second is top of the rock at Rockefeller Center – not as tall but a different view. GO FOR THE GOLD With the Olympics coming to Beijing, China in February 2022 the goal is to go for gold. In dentistry you can also go for gold. With a gold filling or if you're brave a gold crown. Obviously, the gold crown would need to be on one of your back teeth unless you’re going for the bling. Most individuals today will not accept gold due to its color. In fact, most people prefer not to have yellow teeth to begin with and will undergo bleaching or cosmetic dentistry to lighten the shade of their teeth. In California, you can never be too-blond, too-tan and have too-white teeth. In fact, today the demand for gold dentistry is predominantly by dentists. That should tell you something. Just like you, dentists do not like going to the dentist. They may like performing dentistry but not having dentistry.When it comes to dentistry women are a lot stronger than men. Something about lying on your back with a stranger working a couple of inches from your brain can cause men to panic. Back to gold. The reason dentists choose gold is that it lasts the longest. Gold has the same expansion and contraction as enamel. Meaning, gold is the closest to what the outside of your tooth is made of. Gold is very biocompatible with your mouth. It is easy to clean and its edges can be very closely adapted to your tooth structure. In fact, most dental restorations are wide open. Meaning the armies of bacteria in

your mouth are marching en mass into the interior of your tooth. Since cementing mediums contain huge amounts of fluoride this helps to keep your teeth protected.
The great draw back to gold is that it is yellow and you can see it and in today’s esthetic conscious society Moi is perfect in every way. Sort of like: Only your hair dresser knows for sure. Here at the practice, we still do gold crowns and gold fillings. If the need arises this alternative will always be presented and then promptly rejected. The cool thing about gold is when you melt it. It looks like mercury except it is gold in color. You can actually see your reflection in it and before it becomes liquid it has a reddish golden sheen. Just magnificent and it makes you realize why it has been in use since antiquity. However, at 1948 degrees Fahrenheit you certainly don’t want to touch it for then you’ll definitely be singing, but not in a good way.
But even today it continues to remain the gold standard in finance and in dentistry.
