So Friday came and went, and my wife is now a doctor. She beat me by 14 days (if I pass, that is...). After the defense, a good time was had by all.
Saturday and Sunday meant slinging trees for my son's elementary school, and it was a good two days: brisk but not freezing with clear skies meant we had a lot of foot traffic and happy holiday shoppers looking to support a local school and pick up a tree in the meantime.
You can get a cheaper tree at Home Depot, but Home Depot isn't going to put a phys. ed. instructor in our school or pay for some of our field trips. The tree sale is our school's biggest fundraiser and we hope to sell some 300+ trees by the time it's over. We'll be out there again next weekend, the 9th and 10th, on the corner of 17th and R NW on the patio of the Dupont Italian Kitchen, who have generously donated the space for us to sell trees.
After moving trees all weekend I'm a little sore, but it's that good kind of sore like after a good workout (I seem to remember working out once in the 1990's and it felt like that). I didn't even get a chance to read the Sunday paper.

You will pass and you will be a two doctor household! Hooray for Cuff's wife and hooray for cuff!
Congratulations to you both. I would buy a tree from you but I don't think I can afford gas for the round trip. It would be more then my rent. Good luck!
BRAVO to the new doctor in the house. Wow!
As for Home Depot - the trees are so processed they hardly have any kind of liveliness to them, they dry out in a few days and don't have any kind of fragrance. You might as well get a fake tree.
Home Depot was a big supporter of Bush in the last presidential election. I don't shop there.
