Steve and leaves...

The past few days have been pretty uneventful, which is really a good thing. My couch and I have gotten to know each other pretty well! Over the weekend, I pretty much laid low, watched some baseball (how 'bout those Cubbies!!) and a few movies - saw Fantastic 4 - Rise of the Silver Surfer (I'd give it about a 6 out of 10), Brick (8/10) and the new Steven Wright standup DVD (9/10) - he's definitely one of my top 5 comedians of all time. For those of you not familiar with him, his humor is really dry and his delivery is monotone, but his one liners are sharp and witty! ("I put instant coffee in a microwave and almost went back in time", or "I poured spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone"). The guy is brilliant!!

Within the next couple weeks, I'm going to close down the swimming pool for the winter. I probably should have done it earlier, since I haven't used it in about a month. I've been in a battle with the leaves lately. I'll get home from work and the pool is full of leaves. I'm talking multiple hundreds of leaves!! I'll scoop them out and then the next day, there's more leaves than the day before. It sucks!! I feel like picking all the leaves off the tree myself so they don't fall into the pool!! Hopefully I can get it closed soon so I don't have to worry about them anymore...
