Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh.

House Ear Clinic Visit and a Day of Fun @ the Irvine Spectrum
It's been a busy day! It started off with a 90-minute drive from San Diego to the Orange County House Ear Clinic location (more on that later), followed by an afternoon at the Irvine Spectrum.
We arrived at the Spectrum just in time for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. Notorious for the large portions, we laughed that it takes a family of five to be able to finish a meal there without being completely stuffed. There was some sharing of food and we still came home with a doggie bag.
After lunch we took the kids to Dave and Buster's to play video games. They were in heaven! The place was empty and they ran from one game to another, racking up enough tickets to buy a few pieces of candy and a couple of chintzy plastic toys from China. I watched them play the coolest touchscreen game, Fruit Ninja. Now I see it is also available for the iPhone. Uh, oh.
After D & B's, we headed over to the Ferris wheel for a bird's eye view of interstates 5 and 405, as well as the foothills surrounding Irvine. It was a beautiful, albeit somewhat smoggy, So Cal day. We topped it off with another new discovery, Pinkberry frozen yogurt. Yum!! I've certainly heard of it, just hadn't gotten around to actually trying it. I got coconut with these funky little mango-flavored juice ball things. I will be back.
Down to business now with the details of my visit with Dr. Wilkinson. First off, I'd like to say he's a really nice guy but, as is the status quo just about every doctor, our time was rushed. Despite our rather short time together, I still feel like quite a lot was accomplished. I'll break things down by the questions I had for him and the resolutions:
