August 14, 2023, Monday—
Rachel and I whittled down the mountain in our driveway today of chipped up trees! We scooted it via cardboard sleds (moving boxes) completely onto the weird weedy plants and poison ivy in the backyard. We got the chips for free via ChipDrop, a nice little web app connecting arborists and gardeners.

Not pictured: two sweaty wives
Wife of a Close Friend!
I like to dance to music in supermarkets and other public places. When Rachel dances a back a little, I copy her dancing like we have choreography. “Just know that whatever you do, I’m doing the exact same thing back here.”
So, we were laughing and dancing in AmVets looking for curtain hardware, when “You’re so Vain” came on. At the checkout, I sang along to “wife of a close friend” softly with venom and pounded the counter with my fist—much to the checkout lady’s chagrin, “She (Carly Simon) was pissed off!”
