McTreemy

It's rare that I get to see Scott trim trees (really, who does get to see their spouse at work?), so I was excited when I had the opportunity this past weekend. Scott's mom needed a couple of the trees in her front yard trimmed, so I went along for the ride.

It is alternately exciting and scary to watch him. He gets up there pretty high!







Since he had all his equipment out, we decided to go to my mom's house and work on the enormous tree in her backyard. Scott almost took out a window with a falling branch, but we all survived.



It's right about now that I decide Scott should really get a nice desk job.

Ryan Adams rocks


One of my favorite performers, Ryan Adams, was on Letterman last night. Oh, how sweet it was. I'll watch Ryan on any show at any time, but it's especially cool when he goes on Dave's show. I know Dave really likes his music, and I can see that Ryan likes Dave, and it's nice to see the man love.

Scott and I went to see Ryan about a month ago at the Chicago Theatre, where he put on a fabulous show. I was inspired by his performance last night, and decided to look up some Ryan stuff on YouTube. Lucky me, someone was able to tape him singing my favorite song off his new album at the very show we were at. Wanna see?

This is "The Sun Also Sets" from Easy Tiger. The video isn't that great, but the audio is surprisingly good.
