Bill,

Happy birthday to a great guy. And for my birthday gift to you, I arranged for Matty and Paul to come over this saturday morning and pull some weeds for 3 hours. They even thought it was an excellent idea and gift.Just supply them with some drinking water for from the garden hose. It might get hot out there for them.

But...have a great day!

Sanfordization - The act of allowing ones yard to be completely consumed by invasive flora.

Or, maybe, the act of planting prize palms in boxes, half-buried?

Or, both . . . .
