That's the description of the slow excavation progress taking place on my desk these days.  I made some good headway today, cutting the stack of stuff in my in-box by about half.  That's progress!

I also hit the gym for an hour today, wrote 1300 words on the novel and finished the laundry.  Phew!  (Oh, and made a very interesting soup from the YOU on a Diet book.  Tomato based, spicy lentil.  Yum.)

Out from under is apparently also what needs to happen with the grubs living in my planters--according to research last night that's what the crows are after.  So later this week, I'll take a little jaunt to the hardware store, figure out how to get rid of non-jungle (I hope) grubs, thereby hoping to get rid of crows.

Although I appreciate the offer of Hal's dog, it's just not practical for a front yard crow infestation.

Saw an excellent interview with Fareed Zakaria on "A Daily Show" (which is, I guess, what they're calling it during the writer's strike) today.  If you get the Comedy channel, it's definitely worth tuning in to see Jon Stewart (even sans writers) during the silly season of Primary Politics.

Personally, I'm still leaning towards Edwards.  Me and 10% of the other registered, likely-to-vote, Dems in California.  But there's still a few weeks to go.  I probably won't vote until next Monday (mail-in ballots are THE way to go).  In the meantime, however, I would LOVE it if the proposition ads would stop!

They're more annoying than the crows!
