p.o..
i havent updated in a while for a few reasons:
- brother-in-law was in town so there was a lot of hangin out..
- although i squeaked out a couple wins in fantasy football this wk (2-4), i was pretty pissed about how poorly one of my teams played. so pissed that im still pissed..
- actually been busy takin care of a number of errands since i start work next wk..
my thoughts for the wk:
- went to a very nice sports bar called the coliseum sunday afternoon to mainly watch the skins-rams game. i know there are better things than seein all the 1pm nfl games across 90 televisions while downin your ________ (insert favorite beer here) to go with the succulently-roasted buffalo wings. but not much..
- esther and i bought our first christmas tree today. technically, it isnt since in our first yr of datin i got her this tiny battery-operated tree that blinks when you turn it on. but anyways.....its my first all-natural tree. my parents bought an artificial one when i was really young so we pulled out the box every yr to assemble our tree. a natural one is pretty coo--it smells nice and has a nice color to it. but its prickly as HELL!! okay, maybe its not that bad. but next yr, im gonna need some gloves..
- esthers on call tomorr so i guess we will be celebratin our first thanksgivin together apart--her in the hospital and me chowin down at a family friends house. man, doesnt it suck when you dont get a holiday off? like columbus day or presidents day? how much worse is it when its a holiday everyone else gets off?
- one of the things ive been gettin crap over is how i havent raked the leaves in the backyard yet. both esther and her brother are on my case on that cuz although i raked the front out of politeness to our neighbors, i refuse to take care of the back cuz: 1) our backyard is fenced in and next to an alley, and 2) i dont see the point of rakin leaves at all. i understand that it kills the grass, but if the grass is dyin from concentrated-dog urine as it is and if a layer of leaves looks better than yellow, patchy, dead grass then why rake? and above all that, who da hell cares about grass anyways?? we re talkin about GRASS here!!
so basically, although im thankful for my new job im p.o.-ed by fantasy football and leaves. stoopid, messy leaves..

Chars,
You have to rake the leaves especially because you have dogs. If the leaves stay, the grass dies. If the grass dies, the ground gets muddy. If the ground gets muddy, the dogs will bring it into the house. If the dogs will bring it into the house, Esther will freak. It's all about keeping the woman happy.
Don't delay, rake today.
Harry
