The Final Score

I've done it once, against Cablevision, and within days one of their executive reps called to offer a settlement. I felt like Scott Boras. Anyway, I'm about to do it again, this time against a local tree cutting business for messing up another tree in my backyard, promising to fix it and then failing to answer my calls for the past two weeks.

(The daily voicemail I leave reminds me of trying to get a hold of B.J. Ryan's agent a few winters ago. It became apparent early that winter that he wouldn't talk, but I still left a message on his cell every day. I think I just wanted the satisfaction of knowing he had to go through the process of deleting the message every day. Anyway...)

So I realize you probably don't care about my weeping tree. But I do want to say the BBB is good people. Maybe if Knicks fans would have complained to them about Isiah Thomas, something would have been done earlier. Just saying. Okay, carry on.
