ON THE BACK BURNER

I think that I belong to a new club. The Fitbitnicks. I have been asked to "share" with a few people so we can compete. I will pass on the competing part, but I do like the friendship part. Then when I went to my dentist, and as he had instruments in my mouth, I saw he had a FitBit on. The model was different than mine, so we spent some time comparing bands. There are points about each that we don't like. Then he told a few stories about people who notice that he has one on. He's made new FitBit friends, but now that I think about it, he didn't ask to be my friend. I guess he wants to keep our relationship more professional. I confessed that if I am very near my 10000 steps, I will walk around the condo until I get that buzz that says10000 !!!!! He looked a little embarrassed and said that he does the same thing. His wife thinks he's crazy. But I understood immediately. Even his hygienist, at this point, looked like she heard more than she really wanted to know about FitBit's. Even though we are not FitBit friends, I now feel a special bond with my dentist. And he did give me a goodie bag with a new pink toothbrush. That must mean something.
