My grandfather did get married on Monday morning.  We were all most ecstatic, if somewhat surprised. 

I went to the periodontist yesterday--had to get up at 5:45am (ie, before God) to get there by 8:00 (he's in Lebanon).  Good news: my gums are healing faster and better than normal.  I just have to keep rinsing with Listerine and doing the salt rinses (which I don't care for).
