We're going to need a bigger broom
Updates:

Me vs. the leaves: The Tree Guy came back yesterday with his Trio of Tree Dudes to trim everything in sight except for the squirrel-harboring oak. The Tree Dudes climbed ladders and chopped and sawed; then they toted away the branches, and blew away the leaves with a leaf blower. For 10 minutes, until the leaves started to fall again, the backyard looked wonderful. I started fantasizing about buying my own gas-powered leaf blower. Sure, the city council's threatening to make 'em illegal, but it's a small yard; it would only take, like, 5 minutes a day to clean! Who would notice the noise? Instead, I went out and bought a big wide push broom. Then it rained last night and the leaves got all soggy. Ugh.

TiVo woes: I am furiously knocking on wood, but since friendly & helpful Luis, whom I am starting to think of as our own personal Cable Guy, made a couple trips over to our house to install new cable cards, there's been no macroblocking.

Apropos of nothing: Hey, you can listen to Eliot Spitzer's hooker's music at AmieStreet.com! No need to pay .98; just click on the little arrow and you'll get a free preview. Of course, if you really want to hear the whole thing, then you can pay .98. It'll take Ashley a lot of downloads to earn the equivalent of one night with the Luv Guv.

    gas-powered? Crikey - they do make electric ones, so at least you're breathing in the stink.
