House and garden tip, now that we're all domestic and shit

If you lop the lower branches off the hideous, messy, invasive ligustrums that you wish you could chop down but don't dare to because they do a really good job of shading your house and screening your bathroom windows from the prying eyes of perverts, and you get bored with chopping them up and disposing of them per city regulations, why, you can arrange them just so and surprise your wife with a teepee in her own backyard.

Or at least Eric can. He did a pretty good job making it, too; it's super-windy out tonight and it hasn't budged.

I don't know why we would want to have a teepee in our backyard, but I suppose it's comforting to know we can. And, in fact, do. Thanks, baby. It's really, really great.
