One Less Pesky Conifer

So the 2007 tree is up:

You know, they say a fresh cut Christmas tree warms you twice:

• Once when you get in the nice warm car to drive to Boy Scout lot to buy it.
• And then again, as you sit by the fire and watch the wife haul ornaments up from the basement.

Ah, this is the good life. There is no doubt in my mind.
