Okay, it's over a week after New Years... it is now time to get that shedding monstrosity of a christmas tree OUT of the house. I let my son, an 11 year old I affectionately refer to as "los Knucklehead" take the tree out to the curb. I figure how stupid can one kid be... well I guess I found out. I'm in the kitchen getting ready to come back and watch the finale of the Packers game when I hear a sickening crash and thud...

I get into the living room to find the tree halfway out the door and my left speaker, a Platinum Audio, Studio 3 laying in a heap on its side... the top of the speaker cracked off and laying on the floor... Lucky for him and me... the speaker was not terminal and it looks like an easy fix. Also lucky for him I know that a speaker is not a life or death thang but it didn't stop me from slappin him upside the head for being ultra careless. But in the end it was my fault for asking a prepubescent American child to do anything right the first time.... sigh.. whatta maroon I was.
