I expected Avalon to come over tonight; I didn't expect my dad to show up with a chainsaw, an axe, and a truck full of other tree-removal tools. But don't worry, he didn't roam around the yard looking for a tree to chop down like some latter-day George Washington -- instead, he attacked a stump that Mike has been slowly removing with hand tools. Even better, J and Steve showed up to help with some of the shoveling and axe-hefting! Mike will be so surprised when he gets home tonight to see that the project is done (or nearly so). Well, if he even notices that it's gone when he stumbles home at 2 a.m. after working his full shift plus two hours of mandatory overtime. He'll definitely notice it in the morning, though. Thanks, Dad!
Confidential to J and Steve: We're definitely even. Next time you need a paper edited or some sort of photo invitation designed, I've got your backs.

SWEET! do people still say that?
you're right, i didn't notice. in fact, i even stumbled walking from the garage to the house, uttering an assortment of 4-letter and blasphemous words in the process.
this is fantastic, now i don't need to spend tomorrow (and probably friday as well) fighting that stupid stump. many many thanks to rick, james, and steve!
