Christmas Trees
The annual search for the perfect Christmas Tree happened the day after Thanksgiving in typical Batterson tradition. We went out to a farm to cut down a tree, but it was too short for our ten foot ceilings so we've actually got two Christmas trees this year! That's a first.
I got the second tree at a treestand on the corner of New York and Bladensburg. We put it in the trunk and you have to go East at that point on New York so the first place for me to turn around was the Arboretum. I took a shortcut through the Arboretum and realized that I looked somewhat suspect driving through the National Arboretum with a tree in my trunk. I passed a security vehicle and they gave me an interesting look. I felt guilty even though I hadn't done anything wrong!
It was one of those juxtapositions that feels a little wierd. It would be like drinking a pepsi at Coke headquarters or eating a Burger King Whopper at Wendys. It just felt wierd.
That's all I'm saying.
